>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #34496. --> Reported by: [tangent](https://www.drupal.org/user/11670) >>> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> <p>This is a meta issue for fixing the notification functionality on drupal.org so that you can follow issues you care about without having to post the evil "subscribe" comments.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>The infrastructure team has agreed we can use the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/flag">flag module</a> for this.</p> <p>The basic plan is:<br> - deploy and enable flag.module<br> - configure a flag to "follow" issue nodes<br> - teach tracker2 about nodes that have been flagged so they show up in your tracker page<br> - teach project_issue about nodes that have been flagged so the issue e-mail notifications work<br> - teach project_issue views about flagged nodes</p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <ul> <li><del>Merge the '34496-flag-integration' branch of project_issue back into 'master'</del></li>

The /project/issues/subscribe page only allows mass subscriptions but individual subscriptions are really needed because the /project/issues/user and /user/xxxx/track pages do not show issues where I have only commented. This makes it extremely difficult to follow single issues if you are not the submitter.</p> <p>If this feature already exists, then consider this a request to make the feature more visible.</p>
