Distribution lists for comments on Task by Planner in Teams

Question

Is there any way that you can configure Teams so that when updates are made to tickets on Tasks by Planner (specifically new comments added), the e-mail notifications are only sent to those individuals the task is currently assigned to? How is this not a standard feature? I've been investigating and whilst not ideal, I thought I might be able to at least restrict the number of individuals the updates go to (based on whether or not they are at least involved in the project) by setting up the planner in a restricted channel - however, the Tasks by Planner app doesn't seem to be available for restricted channels. I don't want ticket updates to go to all members of the wider Team (50+ members) - which seems to be the standard set-up. How can I get around this?

Dear ClaireHOW,

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

Based on your description, I know your requirement. I am willing to help you but since your consult is about Microsoft To Do, and our Forum is responsible for issues and consult about Microsoft Outlook when customers use it.  However, there is a dedicate Forum which is responsible for issues and consult about Microsoft Community. So I sincerely suggest you provide this in Microsoft To Do - Microsoft Tech Community. The engineers there will provide you further help. Believe they can help you realize what you wanted. Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated.

Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Katherine
