I never found that setting while searching—thank you! Are there any other ramifications of disable category edit notifications being on besides my use case mentioned?
I turn ours on temporarily when doing a tidy-up (I also keep the settings tab open in case I wander off and forget about it ). If left on, it also suppresses the notifications from publishing shared drafts, etc so I don’t think it’s desirable to have it on full-time.
There is some work going on for bulk actions at the moment, and I’m hoping there’ll be an additional checkbox or similar in there so you can choose to ninja-move them at that point. ()
I have a category that gets posted into by an external integration, and that integration also edits its original posts.
Does this setting affect that in any way? Or is there anything I should be doing to ensure people who follow those topics are getting notified of edits?
@sp-jordan-violet
for your case, people are not notified for this edit from external integration, right ?
just a thought, for your case, since you have a process that edits the post, is that done in another server ? if so, you could add some logic there, send a personal message (PM) the participants of that topic using discourse API.
I checked the API, the function to add an entry to notification is not exposed tho… but could do PM instead.
