I have set the config option disable tags edit notifications so “Disable tags edit notifications on topics.” is checked. I am, then, tagging thousands of posts via the API. To my surprise, I am getting notifications. Is this because my account is an admin, or is there something about this setting that a) does not match my assumption as to what it does or b) is not working as intended?

It looks like there was a commit after this topic was created (and those run-throughs were tested out) that fixed the behaviour: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17499 I think it should now work as expected (and possibly in tandem with disable category edit notifications) to skip sending out notifications if a tag is added to a topic. :+1: I suppose I better give it a fresh test run… :slight_smile: Toggle on disable tags edit notifications :white_check_mark: Set test user to Watching topicA Add a tag to topicA No notification is sent :partying_face: Toggle off disable tags edit notifications Set test user to Watching topicB Add a tag to topicB Edit notification is sent :partying_face: It got a bit muddled when I tried to toggle on/off the setting and test on only one topic, so I think there must be some ‘folding up of the notifications and not retrying duplicates’ of some sort? But I think that should be working as expected now. :+1:

I’ve just had a little try using the regular UI with a non-admin test-user :check_box_with_check: disable tags edit notifications Set topic to ‘Watching’ for TL2 Test-User Admin user adds tag to topic (using UI) TL2 Test-User receives edit notification However.. When I set the TL2 Test-User to Watching Tag A, and I then change ‘Tag A’ name to ‘Tag 1’ the Test-User did not receive a notification to say the tag had been edited. Maybe it only covers that? Edit: Actually, I tried the second test with the disable tags edit notifications unchecked, and the TL2 Test-User didn’t get a notification about the tag title being edited either. I’ll have another think. :slightly_smiling_face:

My understanding of how the disable tags edit notifications setting is expected to work is that it should prevent notifications from being sent to users who are watching a tag if a topic is edited to add the watched tag. When I test this on my own site, it is not preventing edit notifications from being sent to users who are watching the tag that I edit into a topic. It is possible I am misunderstanding what the setting’s intended use is. I’ll try to get some clarification about it and also see if a better description can be added to the site setting. The current description is “Disable tags edit notifications on topics.” That indicates to me that edit notifications should never be created when a topic’s tags are edited.

Was it ever clarified exactly what the function of this setting is? I was reviewing all settings on a Discourse recently and couldn’t work out what this is supposed to do.

How should I read this exactly? If a topic that I follow get the tag #bug for example? I then don’t get notified? Or is it when a group/user is tagged in a post and when you edit it, those people will get a notification again. That last one is something I find very unnecessary and I want to disable that. Is that what this does? Because the description of this option sounds more like my first explanation.

I think both. I personally find the re-@mentioning an unusual feature. I think there’s some discussion about the category version of it in this topic: [imagem] Yikes. Hundreds of PMs sent after category change Bug So, we’re doing some house cleaning on the forum, and I just moved a few hundred posts into a new category. It was going well until … Dozens of users have now reported getting re-sent private messages dating all the way back to 2015. And because I was the one who initiated the change, it looks like the personal message was sent from my username. Should we have been aware of this? But I believe disable category edit notifications and disable tags edit notifications disables them. :+1:

Eu acho que ambos.

Eu pessoalmente acho a re-@menção uma funcionalidade incomum. Acho que há alguma discussão sobre a versão de categoria disso neste tópico:

Mas acredito que disable category edit notifications e disable tags edit notifications as desativem.
