Non-reproducible oddities with Save As for Notifications
During my testing of the recent (2017-09-14) release:
"Existing Notifications can now be included when choosing to Save as New or Save as Template."
I have observed some oddities that are not reproducible, but have occurred more than once during my testing.
I'm testing on a workspace with 10 sheets, one of which has two alerts, the rest have one. All are notifications are "anything changes" except the extra one which is a reminder.
1. During Save As New of workspace, warning/error message appeared that said the Notifications could not be copied and to contact support. (They weren't). The next two times had no warning, but no Notifications in the new workspace either. Closing and reopening the app appears to have resolved this.
2. Some Notifications come over as 'disabled' but not all in a batch. I have never seen more than one of the ten disabled.
3. Sometimes only one of the two alerts comes over. I believe I have seen either notification or reminder, but am not totally sure. This one seems to the 'most' repeatable when the Reminder does not come over.
I will contact support but this post is merely to let others know that there may be something to watch out for.

Thanks. I was also disappointed to find that Reminders are not copied and have to be recreated as well. Now, I have to go check to make sure the other notifications are accurately set.

My Reminder is sometimes copied.
Support suspects is may have to do with sharing, but I'm not so sure.

???? UGH. I have 12 reminders set up and 12 notifications in a sheet that we reproduce from time-to-time. Over and over again it only copies the notifications. Support communicated that it wasn't intended to copy reminders. Which to me, feels incomplete and buggy.

Me too (feels incomplete and buggy)
