The option to turn this off should be one of the auxilliary parameters when creating a new application. It can be that the send email is set to true but at least give the application creators the ability to turn it off from the very start. I find the following “default” behaviors more troublesome than being actually useful:
- Notification by email options are enabled by default.
- The new application uses a boilerplate workflow instead of using the one in the repository (if it exists) or giving the option to supply an initial workflow.
- An initial build is automatically kicked off.
The feature request Additional options in the when adding new application via the Web UI is for the second point.
Thanks.
