<p>I agree. I still like this patch as it gives the user more control over the amount of mail they receive (which I think is important). But it's a bit of a breaking change... Not ideal, I know.</p>

<p>The parameter is defined by the admin running the script, yes. It defaults to 7. So, an easy option would be to switch to 7 in this patch as well. Another alternative could be to forcefully set every user's value to the value specified in the rake task once the rake task runs UNLESS the user had set their own value before. Not sure if its a bit too magical for what we're trying to do. But at least it would not break any existing behavior.</p> Redmine - Patch #13413: Let users choose how many days in advance they want to receive issue due date reminders via emailhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/13413?journal_id=752622016-12-24T04:25:07ZGo MAEDA
