ClickUp notifications flood watched tickets but miss direct task assignments
ClickUp sends excessive notifications for tickets a user merely commented on or was added as a watcher, while failing to notify the same user when a task is directly assigned to them. Removing oneself as a watcher does not reliably stop notifications. The notification logic is inverted from user expectations, causing alert fatigue and missed responsibilities simultaneously.
