Global user notification settings do not persist across projects within an organization
Hi! I hope this is the correct place to create this issue. If not, please let me know and I'll move it accordingly.
Description of the problem
We have a gitlab enterprise at work and I'm having issues setting a personal global notification preference that works across the different projects we have. At this time, unless we set a notification preference for each project, you are subscribed to all activity from a project (Watch
) (not optimal).
Actual behavior
I change my Global
notifications setting to be a Custom
one (new MRs only). Then, for each project I'd like the Global
to be applied, I choose Global
from the dropdown. Currently, I still receive emails as if I was Watching
a project, regardless of my Global
setup.
Expected behavior
I could set a Global Custom
preference (new MRs only) that would work across all projects within the org. I think that was the idea, but I haven't been able to get those right yet. Folks at work have not been able either.
Previous fix
I was using a Custom
notification setting for each project. This solved my issue before, but as more devs join our company I wanted to have a better answer than to just tell them to change each project to have a certain Custom
preference. Some folks have set up their email filters to handle the notification problem, but I thought I'd mention it to you at least.
