Group notifications are sent per page...
    • No, when a collection is shared with a group. One notification is sent to all members of the group.
    • No, when a collection is shared by a group. One notification is sent to all members of the group.
    • Yes, when a collection is copied into a group.
    • Yes, when a group collection is auto-created through creating a plan based off a template plan that comes with an assigned task page. The assigned page is copied and a collection is created for it.

Replicate steps to get notification for each view when a collection is copied into a group:
    1. Create a group.
    2. Create and add a member to the group.
    3. Create a personal collection with two pages saved with these settings: Allow copying (Yes).
    4. Copy the personal collection into the group.

Instructions for when a collection is auto-created through using a personal plan attached to to a task page as a template for group plans: the collection pages are not connected to the original collection.
    1. Create a collection with three pages.
    2. Create an independent page.
    3. Create a group and add five members.
    4. Create a personal plan with these settings:
        1. Assignment tasks (Yes).
        2. Template (Yes).
    5. Create a task for the plan with these settings:
        1. Select your independent page to be the ‘Task page’.
        2. Select your three-page collection to be the ‘Assignment portfolio’.
    6. In your group, create a new plan from your personal plan template.
    7. Check that once the template is applied, ‘Assignment tasks’ setting is ‘Yes’.
    8. Press save.
    9. Run the cron to update the time for the next run.

Expected for copy: Each group member receives one notification per collection copied into the group.

Expected for plan template: Each group member receives one notification for the new group plan’s task’s ‘Assignment portfolio’.

Actual: for both cases, a notification is sent for each view.
It seems like both these cases are going through a similar case and solving one may solve the other.
