As an administrator, you can see the tracking state another user has for a group inbox. You can also update it, which is useful [because the default is just “Tracking”](https://meta.discourse.org/t/watching-group-pms-by-default/55285). However, this updating no longer works.
**Reproduction steps:**
- Be an administrator. Be in a group. Have another user that is also in the group.
- Visit `/users/the-other-user/messages/group/the-group`.
- See the tracking state in the upper-right corner. It is accurate.
- Update the tracking state.
**Expected result:**
The user’s tracking state for this group is updated. Your tracking state for this group is unaffected.
**Actual result:**
The update appears to be successful (value changes, no error, no errors in console). However, reloading the page reveals that the change was not saved. But `/my/messages/group/the-group` will now show the tracking state you set – you accidentally updated your own tracking state!
