It looks like there was a commit after this topic was created (and those run-throughs were tested out) that fixed the behaviour:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17499
I think it should now work as expected (and possibly in tandem with disable category edit notifications) to skip sending out notifications if a tag is added to a topic. ![]()
I suppose I better give it a fresh test run… ![]()
- Toggle on
disable tags edit notifications
- Set test user to Watching topicA
- Add a tag to topicA
- No notification is sent

- Toggle off
disable tags edit notifications - Set test user to Watching topicB
- Add a tag to topicB
- Edit notification is sent

It got a bit muddled when I tried to toggle on/off the setting and test on only one topic, so I think there must be some ‘folding up of the notifications and not retrying duplicates’ of some sort? But I think that should be working as expected now. ![]()
