Bug

Body

Hi, I stopped following https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox and had custom "watch" settings ("Releases" / "Security alerts"). Now I want to stop receiving notifications but I can't "apply" the form with no box selected, as in I have to select at least one to "apply" the custom settings.

My aim would be that there are no more custom "watch" settings for me for this repository as in no "watch" settings at all any more.

OK, I found the answer myself, the default "watch" setting is "Participating and @mentions" so when I chose this it's the same as not having custom settings. But this was not very clear I'd say.

@sebrhex thanks for coming back to share what solved it for you! What would help make this clearer (tool tips, improved UI, documentation) for you? Just curious so I can pass this feedback along to our team 😃

I'm not an UI expert and maybe it's a wrong assumption because I did not look deeply into everything but maybe it would be nice that when I have watch set to "custom", that I'd be able to deselect all of the custom options and applying this would make the "watch" section fall back to the default "Participating and mentions"?
