Send me an alert when someone changes an item that appears in thefollowing view - strange behavior

[andy.novak]

I have a Form library with files (forms) in it that have been filled
out. This form library contains several views. When attempt to
utilize the (Alert) feature above in this form library, I'm only given
one view to select from (and I don't think its even the default view)
- not all of them that exist for this view (doesn't matter whether
they are public or personal).

Strange thing is there is another form library we have that is similar
to this one and this feature works great - provides a complete list of
views that exist for that FL to choose from for an alert.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

This only works when you have views that filter on a Choice column,
apparently. I quickly tried this but couldn't make the dropdown show
anything other than All Forms.
