"noindex, follow" cause google error notifications when redirecting to webinars/events which have "noindex, nofollow"

Please give us a description of what happened.

In admin "Yoast" -> "Search appearance" -> "Content types" (or taxonomies) I am unable to set "noindex, nofollow" (this is only possible at single post, but there are too many pages to do that manually)

Our events posts are redirects to webinars/events on other services which have "noindex,nofollow" , When I set this post category to "Show Events in search results?" - "NO" it will generate "noindex, follow" , google analytics catch this and report back as error on page.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

To be able to set "noindex, nofollow" to post type or at least to tag. To be able to match them on redirect target page.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. set "Show Events in search results?" - "NO" to any post type (events for example)
2. add redirect to any page on other domain which has 'noindex, nofollow'
3. wait for google analytics errors .
