I need to be notified when the status of a task changes. There is currently a notification when a Defect or Story status is changed, but there is no notification when the status of a task is changed. To help us manage our workload, we really need this feature. For example, we create a Code Review as a task for every defect and it would be nice to have notification of when that status is changed.

also for stories/defects etc.
Our team needs the same thing.
We need the roughly same thing, but the ability to be notified when the task previous to yours is completed. IE: If you're assigned to the Code Review task, you should receive a notification when the Code task is completed.
You can WATCH a task, test, BL item,...and get a notice when anything changes. Maybe too much info, but you will get status changes. It wold be better to have the same status tracking you have with BL items.
I have been asked about a notification when a test status is changed to Failed.
I down-vote this. Focusing too much on tasks/tests pull the focus away from where it should be (the story/workitem). What if the test failed, then was retested immediately and failed four more times, and then succeeded. Would you want all those notifications?
Members may setup subscription notifications. Taks subscription events include a status change event.
