Mass update = mass emails in 6.1?

[marclangston]

I've been testing 6.1 and it seems that mass update now generates an e-mail to the new assignee for every item assigned to him/her. This is unlike the behavior in 5.2 (the version I've been using up until now). Is this intentional, or is there a setting or combination of settings I can change to alter this behavior? I'd like for users to be assigned via e-mail if the item is edited and the "Assigned to" field is changed but not if they are assigned something (or many things) via Mass Update.

Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas how to stop this? My Gmail account was temporarily shut down due to too many emails being sent via SugarCrm during mass update. I would like to stop sugar from sending any notifications during mass update so that my gmail account isn't suspended.

I just figured out how to disable the sending of emails via mass updates after doing something like reassigning a lead. I have created a video to show how to enable or disable the notifications being sent after reassigning a lead, opportunity, contact, etc...

Good Luck!

I was able to stop mass emails going out for mass updates by commenting out the following code from the include/MassUpdate.php file; it starts around line 300 in my copy:

 if (isset( $this->sugarbean->assigned_user_id)) {
    $old_assigned_user_id = $this->sugarbean->assigned_user_id;
    if (!empty($_POST['assigned_user_id'])
    && ($old_assigned_user_id != $_POST['assigned_user_id'])
    && ($_POST['assigned_user_id'] != $current_user->id)) {
        $check_notify = TRUE;
    }
} 
  

I got this suggestion (after I started this thread) from Supressing mass update e-mails in 6.1 - SugarCRM Forums.

Hope this helps.
