Shared list email reminders
lorna.pautzke says:
Hi--
Two of us shared our task lists. We assign tasks to each other. But we find that the email reminder of a task becoming due is only being sent to the person who created the task -- not to the person who is actually supposed to do the work. Have we done something wrong? Is there a way around this? Or another approach?
Thanks,
Lorna

Hi Lorna,
This is actually a limitation in our reminder system. (It's on our list to address in the future.)
Specifically, it will send reminders to the last person to modify the Due property for a task.
So the workaround is to modify the due date/time for any tasks of which you need to be reminded; just a "dummy" change will do (i.e. edit the task and just press Enter).
Hope this helps!
