Do not disturb allow apps

[catmiles]

It appears on a recent update of android you can no longer allow apps through the do not disturb setting.

I can still allow events and reminders but it does not recognise apps like To-Do as reminders and so these are blocked.

Have the really stopped this feature? It seems a step backwards...

I've just discovered this annoyance too while attempting to set an exception for a critical notification that I want in all circumstances. How annoying. I have a couple that I'd set previously that don;t seem to actually work despite them still showing as priority exceptions.
Have you done the update to Oreo 8.1 from late 2018? I haven't because I was afraid of what it would break but if it reinstates the feature, I'd be willing to try it.
