It seems like whenever a category is watched, any subcategories underneath it are not automatically watched as well.

This way, when I have a lot of subcategories (in our case different countries), it is quite a long watch list that must be carefully maintained for different users.

Is there a way to “propagate” the watch to subcategories?
