Ability to dismiss "You haven't sent notifications" reminder #68

Open anssiko opened 2 years ago

I think there should be a way to dismiss this warning (with persistence):

You haven't sent notifications since this event was last updated. Edit the event and click on the update button to send them now.

Here's my use case:

  1. You announce an event and send an invite to the group with a large number of folks.
  2. You identify a new participant (e.g. an invited guest) who should attend and get the invite.
  3. You do not want to spam all the participants with an event update that is not really relevant to them, so you add the guest and click "Update but don't send a notification". You send the guest the invite manually, or point them to the event URL to export the invite from.
  4. At this point I'd like to see an option to dismiss the warning that is displayed.

Alternative, but likely much harder to implement and explain to the user, would be to allow sending of invites to only new participants, if no other data is changed.
