Should assigning a checklist task to a user generate a notification to that user?

[James Williams]

I've assigned a task (within a checklist) to a user and they are not receiving any notification; however if I tag them in the body of the task, they receive a notification.

Hey James, thanks so much for posting this question about notifications from advanced checklist items. 

At this time, you will not see reminders about assigned checklist items in the notifications tab. @mentions will still produce a notification, however. You might consider @mentioning the user and adding the user to the checklist item to make sure they get a notification. Users who are assigned to checklist items can see those cards in the ‘Your Items’ view on the Home screen. We are still collecting feedback about Advanced Checklist and notifications, so I'll make sure to add you as an official "+1" in support of this!

Let me know if this brings up any new questions!
