Bulk Action Notifications and not selecting an option deletes selected thread from User

Bug
1

When I choose to “Update Notifications” from the “Bulk Actions” drop down, and do NOT choose any of the radio buttons from the modal that pops up, and then click confirm button with none of the radio buttons selected the topic disappears from my users view forever. I am not sure how to bring it back or if it is even possible. I verified that for other users the topic is still visible so it is not deleted entirely from the database.

I am thinking that in this modal that pops up the Confirm button should NOT be enabled unless one of the radio buttons has been selected.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Select one or more threads and click ‘Bulk Actions’

  • Select ‘Update Notifications’

  • In the modal that appears leave all the radio buttons unselected and click next. You should see that the Thread just disappears for that user seemingly forever.

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to help debug or reproduce. I am able to reproduce this reliably every time.

Welcome to Meta :waving_hand:

I think the topic was muted. You can find it by adding ?state=muted to the URL.
So if you mute a topic here at Meta, you can find it at https://meta.discourse.org/latest?state=muted.

I agree with you that muting can be very confusing if it was not intentionally selected.

Hi @WolfpackFan welcome to Discourse Meta :waving_hand:

Thank you for the report. I can indeed reproduce this - it seems that the muted option is being set if the confirm button is clicked and no options chosen.

to see all your muted topics and unmute them, you can use the filter /?state=muted as in https://yourforum.org/?state=muted

Thank you both for the quick response! Yep, from your instruction I verified they are going to muted state. So at least I have a work around to recover them!
