I noticed an account had a note with an asterisk on it. The note applies to this account as well so I thought if I edited the note and saved it with the same thing that it would get rid of the asterisk for that account. It did not.

I think in this situation, it should make a new note for that account; while leaving the asterisk on other accounts from other instances; so there would be two accounts from two instances with the note and asterisks for the rest.

Hi, thanks for the feature suggestion. This would be cool! This should now be available on beta v444. Cheers!

I was testing this out with a different user, because I can't remember the original account this was about, but I was trying to remove the note for that specific account and this doesn't seem possible? If I don't check the box then nothing happens. If I do check the box and delete the note then it's just deleted and no longer propagating. I think making the option an exception rather than the current revision of the existing global note may be better?

I made a small tweak to this in 446, hopefully it's more intuitive now. I got rid of the checkbox and displayed the user that the note is coming from. Setting a note on a user with a inherited note will override it.

I kinda liked the checkbox. It may be better UI and more informative to the user. But yeah, I guess it's not necessary now.
