Proposed resolution

Deleting a watched entity should delete its corresponding record in forum_notification_frequency table

    Hi Chetan, thanks for working on this.
    After quick review of this I think we need not just to return a default name but also do more i.e about the frequency around that post.

    I actually think the work around this should focus on the deletion process.
    #1 Someone remove a post.
    #2 A hook (something like hook_ENTITY_TYPE_delete()) check if this node id has a forum_notification_frequency (this nid means the entity_id of the frequency)
    #3 If That forum_notification_frequency exists it removes it.

    Here is the Entity definition itself

    Here is how to get notification by id

    So should implement the same thing to get notification by subscribed entity id (entity_id) in the ForumNotificationsSubscriptionService class.

    After finding it we should delete it so we will no longer fall on it when looping frequencies in the user_form.

    Please let me know if someone want to work on this or if there is any need for clarification.
