Can't have forward slash (/) under Settings → Notifications → Mention and keywords

See original GitHub issue

In the Keyword field, input any text containing a forward slash. (/)
Select Add

What happened?

A modal appears with the following text.

Error saving notification preferences

An error occurred whilst saving your notification preferences.

And the content of the Notifications setting changes to.

Notifications

There was an error loading your notification settings.

I can just flip to another page, then return to Notifications settings to access the page again. (The keyword does not get added.)

What did you expect?

I would expect the keyword to get added as it would for any other keyword.

If for whatever reason, not that I can think of one, a / cannot be used in a keyword for a logical/technical reason, then I would expect the field to have validation explicitly warning the user. (Or handle it gracefully one way or another.)

I’m not completely familiar with the workflow of the project, but could it be the project needs to be changed back manually too?

Yes, you’re right. Fixed that too.
