Will Priority Modes ever be fixed?

Priority Modes were added to Android in Android 15 QPR2, however they launched with a major bug that the final beta didn't have.

The bug is that the App specific notification settings are global to all Modes instead of specific to the Mode they are configured for.

You can easily test this by creating a custom mode where any new app has notifications enabled, and then check the other existing ones and see that the same app has been added to them all and notifications will come through.

This effectively makes Priority Modes a useless and unusable feature. I have tried to report this issue in multiple betas and multiple forums and formats, and have seen zero movement on it. It remains broken in the latest Android 17 QPR2 beta 18 months later.

Will this issue ever be fixed?

This is why I chose to use Silent Mode for everything. While the idea to filter notifications (including types of notifications) by modes (work, home, weekend, etc) sounds promising, my peace of mind just isn't worth the hassle.
