Problem to solve

As a user we should have control over the notifications that we are receiving. At the moment if you are an author of an issue, it seems like you would by default get notification being a Participant based on our documentation. The problem is if even if you set a Custom level option for the group/project you are part of, you would still get other events not selected.

In issues, merge requests, and epics, for most events, the notification is sent to:

• Participants:
  • The author and assignee. ...
• Custom: users with notification level “Custom” who turned on notifications for a fitting type of events.

I can see a scenario where a user created an issue but doesn't want to get notified about any activities in it moving forward.

Proposal

If a user already selects the Custom notification level, then they should no longer received events that are not selected in their events type list.

Intended users

• Parker (Product Manager)
• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
