Bug: Can't Save Refresh Settings without entering email address

I've discovered what appears to be a bug regarding saving refresh settings.
While attempting to disable refresh for one of my reports today, no matter how many times I would switch "Keep your data up to date" to OFF, and pressed Apply, it did not actually save and apply the changes until I had at least one user in the "Email these users when the refresh fails" entry.

While this is a feature I've been asking to have implemented for about four years, if "Send refresh failure notifications to the dataset owner" is selected, this should be an optional field.

Need Help

    Hi ChrisLeiter ,

    I have a little confused about your scenario.

    While attempting to disable refresh for one of my reports today, no matter how many times I would switch "Keep your data up to date" to OFF, and pressed Apply, it did not actually save and apply the changes until I had at least one user in the "Email these users when the refresh fails" entry.

    It seems that you untick the option send refresh failure notifications to dataset owner and then turn off the option Keep your data up to date. 

    Why you said that the setting is not actually saved? Do you get any error messages?

    Best  Regards,

    Cherry
