Follow notification settings fail to save despite a successful request which returns “200 OK”. I originally wrote this bug report on my phone but it is the next day so I am editing it to include more information after doing some investigative journalism which may be useful to staff reading this
I can confirm that these 5 settings specifically DO NOT save, all other settings DO save. I can also confirm that this still occurs if I refresh my session, reset my cookies, log out and back in and use another device. I asked a friend (first reply to this thread) to test it and he is also experiencing issues with this. These 5 fields are absent from the payload form data but are present in the response confirming the backend knows about them but the frontend fails to send them.
I think the issue is that there is a mismatch between the frontend’s form submission and the backend’s data validation which may have been caused by a Discourse/DevForum update.

Visual aid / Demonstration:
Expected behavior
My follow notification settings should save when I refresh the page and not give me a false success message when it failed to update.
