New folder creation - Option to change default behavior of "Send an email notification" checkbox
This idea would solve a lot of issues and address many complaints. Creating the option to change a default behavior when creating a new folder within a parent folder. Currently you cannot modify the checkbox below from being checked by default when creating a new folder. If you do not un-check the box, an email notification is sent to every member of the parent folder. Please see a screenshot of the dialogue box and checkbox in question:

Status changed:NewtoInvestigatingHi anthony_nordin & AnthonyyC! I'm the PM for this feature. Thank you so much for your feedback! Is this feature something you'd use occasionally? For example, would prefer it off except for specific use cases? If so, do you mind sharing the use cases at a high level? Additionally, we're exploring different types of controls for our users. Another idea we have is the persist the previous option. For example, if you previously un-checked the box, we'd keep it unchecked until you checked it and that would continue for all folder creations. What do you think of that compared to the default control? Thank you in advance!
Seconded! I hope this feature gets attention and development. This would be very useful in reducing spam emails across our workspace
