Tasks: Filter Task Updated / Task Resolved Notifications by Team Member

Request: With the new Portal/Staff User Tasks rollout (First Look: Bring your team into Tasks), please add a team member filter to the Task Updated and Task Resolved notifications so they can fire only for team member activity — not for actions I take myself. Ideally each notification type could be toggled independently.

Current behavior (per OwnerRez support): if you enable either notification, you get pinged for everyone's actions, including your own.

Why this matters:

I don't need a notification every time I add a note to a task or mark something complete — I just did it. The notifications that actually matter are the ones telling me a team member, cleaner, or maintenance worker completed a task or left a note I need to see.

Getting pinged for my own activity buries the team-member updates in noise, and the more I use Tasks to delegate work, the worse it will get. A team member filter (e.g., "All users" / "Team members only" / "Exclude me") would make these notifications actually usable as a team workflow tool — which is what the First Look announcement positions Tasks to be.
