Tag Teammates in Planner Cards & Push Notifications

It would be really helpful to add more ways to notify teammates on through planner:
-Tag teammates in Planner Card comments
-Push notifications for mobile when mentioned in such tags.

    Notifications seem to be really hit and miss in Planner. Sometimes people assigned to the task get notifications of comments, sometimes they don't. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. Being able to tag people in a comment would be a good way to be sure that person will get a notification.

    How is this not part of the feature set? basic stuff available on every other tool i have used of this kind.

    This would be very helpful. Especially if you need input from someone that is not assigned to the task.

    If I assign a task and the assignee does not "comment" back, any other comments I put are not seen until they open the task again (Kanban Board in Planner on a Teams Channel). It would be helpful if I could @Mention that assignee so he knows there is additional information the assignor feels is important to the task.

    Surprised to see this function does not exist in Planner :-(

    So I certainly voted for this request. It would really help to tag colleagues individually from the comments in assigned tasks e.g

    Please add tagging/mentions to comments section in Planner cards/tickets. We are looking to notify only the person in question, however want that communication to be persistently visible to all in a specific channel/planner group when relevant. Thank you,

    Please add this feature.
    Your other products (Teams) have this feature. Please streamline and don't be an inconsistent doosh.

    The task in Planner did not always come from the team leader; since we use a more fluid work/task management regime. When the job 'creator' is not the team manager/lead, then they are not aware of the changes made in the card.

    Nor they should be expected to read all card, or all details in all cards all the time.

    Sometimes in creating the comment, I may want to ask a question/request an explanation/any response from one or more specific people. If I can mention that person or tag, and that person receives a notification from the Planner. Would be great.

    I think this particularly useful when our team is implementing an Agile approach.
