Customizing alerts without loosing inherited settings
Would be great to have the possibility to customize alerts on lower levels without loosing the inerited "customizations".
Otherwise there is the need to "copy" all the exclusions made on higher or highest level to the level that should be customized...
In example : i want to add a keyword for a specific query on Database Instance without loosing all the exceptions made for backup and so on.

The ability to "copy override" is needed - period!
Having multiple similar servers, at lower levels I need to keep 2 panes open to "copy", as in manually replicate (noting another poster's difficulty, like mine, in finding all those places where someone touched something).
This is 2016 after all, so it would seem to be a no-brainer to "Show overrides", multi-select, clone, adjust if necessary.
While you're there, RG, let me find where a departed colleague shoved his email address, and give me a single page where I can work through removing/replacing. I dread to think how bad it would be for folks with over 20 servers (I have that few) where a departed dba's email may be littered...

Voted up (sent a similar Request to the support and they linked me back to this thread):
I have several global keywords (as backup / restore / dbcc checkdb) that should not trigger this alert and several that apply only to one server / db. If I find a new global keyword, I have to remember and modify any server with a local alert configuration whith could be a little bit errorprone. Something like {inherited} as keyword in the local configuration that would add all global keywords would be very helpful.
