Hosts become disabled after Applying Configuration

Hey Gents, I have the weirdest problem I have every come across.

I have 42 hosts or so that notifications become disabled every time I apply a configuration whether there is a change or not. I'll explain further below:

Step 1) I have 42 hosts in a Hostgroup all saying they are up but notifications are disabled.
Nagios XI 1.png
Step 2) I use the hostgroup commands to "Enable all notifications for all hosts in this hostgroup"

Step 3) Refresh hostgroup page and verify that notifications are enabled. Verified they are now enabled.

At this point there have been no configuration changes however if I open CCM and Apply Configuration all of the notifications are now disabled again. Just from clicking the Apply Configuration, whether there are changes or not.

Profile is attached as well. Any ideas?

As always thanks guys!

Nagios XI 5.5.1
CentOS 6.8
VMware 6.5

@ahoward12, Looks like all these hosts have notifications disabled in their configs.
Go to the Core Configurations Manager, then click on Bulk Modification Tool, click on Change a single config option menu.
Select Notifications enabled -> on, select all hosts at once and apply the configuration.

Wow, I didn't even know that was a thing, and had no idea that could be written in the config at all. Thank you. This can be closed.
