I can’t figure out the exact workflow but it’s happened 3 or 4 times now so I know it’s systemic…
Saving a tag in preferences for notifications does not save. Sometimes this happens after I log-in / log-out and sometimes the saved tag disappears from the list.
Sorry I can’t manually reproduce, but, again, enough times and it’s caught my attention.

Without reproduction steps, there’s not much we can do…
Feel free to try as long as you want on [https://try.discourse.org](https://try.discourse.org).

I just ran into this bug on my instance. Appears to happen when saving users preferences.
Repro Steps:
- From admin account, add tag notification for user
- Save changes
- Navigate to a new setting on that user (such as changing the name)
- Save changes
- View notification setting changed on first step
**Observe:** the notification setting for the tags are now gone.
**Note:** It appears to take time to lose the settings after the save. I did these steps, saw that everything saved and the returned about 1-2min later to find the tag notifications were removed. Seems correlated to saving other account preferences though.

@SquareTheBase Saving of each preference page is separate, so you should save the tag notification preferences and then navigate away.

Ah - forgot to note that step in my repro steps, but I did in fact save the added tags prior to navigating away.

I was able to reproduce. Hmm… Will look into it.
This applies to anyone, not only an admin changing someone else’s prefs.
- Add a tag to your notification prefs
- Save
- Navigate to Accounts prefs and change your name
- Save
- Your tag notification prefs are cleared

I made a fix for this today. It’s probably been there for a while. People don’t use tag notification preferences very often? 😢

Thanks! I should have noted this earlier, but I think I saw the same issue within the settings view. Would your fix have been effective in that area?

The settings in admin? Or something else?

Yes, admin settings.
I removed the auto-generated email header, saved the setting.. then navigated to the email notification time and saved that change. When browsing a bit later, the auto-generated email heading had returned.

This fix won’t impact the admin site settings so report that bug in a new topic please.
