Continuing the discussion from [Weird behavior for group private messages](https://meta.discourse.org/t/weird-behavior-for-group-private-messages/55841):

I am witnessing further “wierd” behaviour for groups private message settings. There seem to be two entirely separate notification settings for group.

It might be a bug, it seems to be related to this one [Unable to set notification type for group message inbox, again - #14 by fefrei](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unable-to-set-notification-type-for-group-message-inbox-again/45144/14), but I don’t want to report it as such necessarily because I may simply not be understanding how this should work…

The problem is that there seems to be a group notification setting in the inbox:

AND there seems to be a group notification setting in the group (via “Manage” within the /group page):

I was using the setting within the group but it wasn’t making any difference, so wondered what was going on!

So, the two group notification settings seem unconnected, and the one in the group message inbox seems to take preference, so I am pretty confused at this point:-/

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
