As an Aha user I want to receive notifications for ideas I am watching, but I do not want to receive notifications I am assigned to, as I am assigned to hundreds of ideas by various PMs and I get an update every time they make any changes. You only have the option to send or not send notifications for both. I wish this was broken out.
Thank you for the request. Based on community feedback over time, we have received positive feedback that assigned users receive notifications, to allow them to understand and see any changes which may be applicable.
One workaround may be to add a Users custom field to the ideas where you could select yourself. You would then change the Assignee field to be unassigned. This would then prevent you from receiving notifications, while still seeing the relation between you and the idea.
While we understand your use case of many assigned ideas, at this time, we do not have plans for updates in this area based on historical feedback, current priorities and the above workaround. We hope you can understand.
