How to de-activate 'Watch' Auto-default when selecting card due date

crossropedave

Hi all,

I've noticed some recent UI updates that have been very frustrating and I'm not sure why they were changed and how to disable.

I frequently add and change card due dates as part of my daily work flow. I do not want to watch any of the cards on my board, but within the last 48 hours any card I add a date to automatically selects the 'Watch' function.

I do not want to have to de-select the function every single time I add or change a due date and this was never a function before.

Is anyone else annoyed by this? Is there a way to disable?

Hi @crossropedave , the Trello Team received a lot of feedback about this autowatching feature that was recently enabled in Trello last week. As a result they disabled the auto-watch feature on creation of new cards for now. However as you know there is still an auto-watch enabled for any user that changes a due date on a card, that one will remain in effect for the time being. The Trello team will be monitoring the community to see user comments on any changes they have made.

I hope this helps and have a great day,

Jodi

Also, to answer your question there is currently no way to disable this.

I'd like to second Dave's comment here - it's a very annoying feature!

Hi @crossropedave & @Katherine_Fox The auto-watch card for date changes is still an experiment, at this time there is no way of disabling it. The Trello team is monitoring the threads, and once I know more I will update you.

Thanks so much for your patience.

Right this minute (will wait to see how the day progresses), the Auto-Watch feature is NOT auto-watching. I have changed several due dates, and the Watch function has remained OFF.

I can still set it ON or toggle back and forth. It just isn't getting set without my wanting it.

Yea! Let's hope it stays that way!

I wish that was true for me. I just tested it on my end, Mark. I'm using the Trello desktop app for PC and when I change a date it still auto-watches the card for me. I closed the app and restarted, still doing more of the same.

Mine stopped auto watching. Woohoo!

That's wonderful news!

Jodi LeBlanc

Fantastic to hear!

crossropedave

Yes!!! Good work team. Thanks for listening Atlassian!

Melissa Morrison

That is good news but so far it doesn't look like it has rolled out to the PC desktop app. I just checked again and it is still auto-watching for me.
