Plex Recently added problem

Server Version#: 1.32.1.6999
Player Version#: Every platform
Hello there,
When a existing movie gets upgraded (to MULTi version), I would like plex to scan it is as a “new movie” (because the old release gets deleted/replaced (by radarr) in media/movies/directmoviefolder and then the new one gets added).
But it’s not added in “Recently added” movie on the first place.
How Can I enable it?
Thank You.

Why would you want that? It is not a new movie. it is just a different version.

Delete the old version first. Scan the library. Empty the library trash. Add the new file. Scan the library again.

Thank You for Your quick response.

Well the question is not “why would I want that” but “why does it not work this way” because a lot of plex users wanted to disable this option, and I instead of that would like to have it enabled.
It would be just for me and my other users an information about new release of the movie with (most of the time) second audio (voice over)

Well radarr is doing it’s job, ie grabs new release, and REPLACE(so remove the old version) of the movie.
and plex automatically scans it, replaced it, but does not inform me about it.

EDIT:

Here is the user who wanted to disable this function, I want to enable it.

You might be interested in setting up either a discord bot or other notification type from radarr/sonarr for file replacements/imports

Hey there,
thank You for Your reply.
Well I am using Pushover app for notifications from bazarr/radarr/sonarr and tautulii, BUT it’s still not the way I would like to work.
Look at reddit topic, this guy have had this option available and wanted to disabled it.
So there is a plex solution, OR MAYBE it has been permanently terminated by plex developers?
