When having a post that’s assigned to user **X** , Discourse re-sends the user **Y** assigned post to you to user **X**. imo it shouldn’t resend that if it’s still assigned to the same person. (This is a post with @X in it)

What if the edit completely changes what the assignment is?

You mean the automatic whisper post we insert in the stream? Curious why are you editing it?

No I mean a post like this one with @carlokok in it. On our forum that will automatically assign the post to me (which is great), but If I edit this post again, I get another “user assigned a post to you” notification for every time it gets edited.

@gerhard can you add this to your list, not urgent at all but we should clean it up (in theory if we edit this in 15 minutes you will get another notification)
In theory another notification fired

This should be fixed by [FIX: Do not assign the same user more than once · discourse/discourse-assign@a308e2a · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-assign/commit/a308e2a44560affe3691e1998e1f72456d13f760)
Note: We already prevent duplicate assignments in the `AssignController`, but that doesn’t work for auto assign.
