Question

Could it be made possible for admins to (temporarily) suppress all email notifications for the assignment of (and for changes to) cases across a whole project?

The scenario I'm currently in is that I am planning the feature list for a new project, and want to use the EBS estimates for the current in-progress projects to affect the EBS availability of developers coming onto the new project, to help give realistic scheduling estimates for the client.

However, as I add potentially dozens of cases to the new project I don't really want to spam up my developers, making them think work is being added to their queue even though the contract for the new project isn't yet confirmed.

This is related to and could be considered a fix for the issue below and similar questions:

Answer 1

Thanks for the feature request! We'll file it as an official request when it reaches our top 100 feature requests by votes. To get it there, vote up this question!

Answer 2

This can now be achieved via a plugin which turns off notifications for a case before it is committed in BugCommitBefore():

CBug.fNotifyChange = false;

Note, this will be reflected in the docs soon.
