@codinghorror, I think it makes sense to revive this. If mute category automatically muted all subcategories the behavior would be more sensible.
This would solve a problem @fitzy and @HAWK are facing today.
Proposal here is as following (considering this hierarchy)
- A
- B
- C
Mute (A) … (B) and (C) no longer appear in latest and categories unless explicitly tracked
To get (B) back in lists you would set it to Normal
Navigating to (C) you would see:
Years have passed here, but this niggle is impacting our own staff quite a lot, I agree the “auto mute children” behavior is more intuitive and there is a super easy opt out.
Thoughts?
