    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      At the moment, page watchers or owner will receive an email every time a task is checked/unchecked. This feature is good to notify any changes performed in a page.

      However, for a page that's constantly used to track task status (frequent use of checking/unchecking task), the page watcher can receive huge number of emails every day.

      The process of checking/unchecking task can be done without editing page, hence it's not possible to turn off the "notify watchers" functionality.

      It would be useful to have the ability to switch off email notification for checking/unchecking task in a page to avoid email spam to the user.

      Workaround

      Disable the tasks-notification module in the Confluence Inline Tasks add-on in Confluence Admin >> Manage Add-ons. But note that this is not recommended as there may be side effects to this (possible dependency from other plugins).
