I’m making a master bugfix list topic in my community that grabs content from other topics via API/webhooks, but I’m having trouble alerting users who are watching the topic. My topic is registering each iteration as an edit (good). I’ve tried: Setting them to watching Not on the page when it upd…

That sounds right unfortunately. Thanks @Moin !
