My initial expectation was that if I created a notification on a table, that the notification would be inherited by any child tables of the table where I’d defined the notification.
Upon further digging, it turns out that notifications aren’t inherited the way that business rules are, which actually makes more sense than my starting expectation.
If a child table inherited a parent’s notifications, then you’d be in a real pickle if you ever needed the child table not to inherit the parent’s notifications.
The way that it’s been coded up means that you may have to create a bunch more notifications to build the same functionality across different child tables, but that’s a better way to go than trying to figure out how to stop unwanted notifications from firing off.
