Why is group mention limited to 500 members?

You would need to create your own custom email notification to replace the built in group notification.  It was limited to 500 for performance reasons.

I've created the following bug to investigate the limit:

Is there a way we can follow the progress regarding this bug?

The bug link above will be updated automatically when planning changes are made, so the best way to track it is to bookmark this thread.

Is it your expectation that anytime a group is mentioned all members get a notification?   We are currently evaluating this notification type as it is written and finding that it actually could be construed as nuisance versus a benefit since it could potentially result in many unwanted notifications.  What is the use case for having all members of a group notified on a mention?

Hi Patrick, We have fairly large groups with many users. We want to use the notification to indicate that new content is available. It is now also unclear on what basis he selects the group of 500. Some get a notification and others don't. It would be nice if the limit is removed and changed to a default value of 500. Then we have the option to change it if needed. Thanks for your help!
