This feature is a game changer for me.
We have categories that are the areas for particular groups to post and share information. We would like membership of the group to effectively ‘subscribe’ the members to those categories, so that they receive the notifications in that category by default. At the same time we want the categories to be open so that non-group members can view them, without receiving all the notifications by default.
If I’m interpreting this correctly, this new functionality should enable that - so the action of joining a group can be set to automatically ‘subscribe’ the user to watch specific categories?
The ability to add this retrospectively to all group members would be important for us to be able to introduce this - in the same way the notification message appears asking if you want to apply this retrospectively when adding default notification settings at Category level. Will that functionality be in the official release?
