Is there a way to hide the status update replies to ideas? Or is there a way to not trigger the system email for when an idea has it’s status updated?

We’re using ideation functionality for a different use case and these emails are less than ideal. 

I’m hoping I can disable the system notification for just ideas and that it doesn’t apply to all topics.

Hey @DannyPancratz  - there is currently no way to hide the status update replies to ideas or to avoid triggering the system email generated when this reply is auto-added to the idea.

As a side note on the off chance it might be useful: the text of this auto-reply (what shows before the status pills) can be customised to say something different.

Thanks, @daniel.boon that side note would be helpful, as we’re using alternate phrasing for that with our ideation module. However, I’m not seeing that that phrase to customize in our control > customization > phrases > (searched by common)

This one’s a ‘hidden phrase’ so you’ll need to add it as described below:

  1. Navigate to Control → Customization → Phrases.
  2. Click Add phrase
  3. Add Module and Key in the details panel
  4. Provide Translations (the text you want) in the Translations panel
