Description (last modified by cmlenz) (diff)

There should be a form item for writing the bug number when you mark a ticket as a duplicate. Developers are lazy, they tend to forget stuff, etc. The original bug should get a notice that given bug was marked a dupe of it

Indeed, I was thinking of having a text area for this purpose, which would be enabled when the resolution is set to duplicate.

This text area would then contain the reference to the duplicated ticket(s) and would create a has-duplicate relation for each referenced ticket.

I'll put that soon in the source:branches/cboos-dev/trac-obj-branch and drop a note here when it's implemented.

I implemented that in the xref branch a while ago, but this needs to be reworked on other bases, now, so "un"-accepting the ticket for now.

This could be done with a plugin that uses the WorkFlow stuff. (And would likely be a good candidate for sample-plugins/workflow.)

#5197 has been marked (in two places, manually ;-) as a duplicate of this bug.

http://tn123.ath.cx/TracDuplicates/ is a plugin that solves part of the problem, although this should really be built-in.

#6924 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug.

Because it wasn't identical, it is quoted below:

Duplicate tickets often contain valuable information.
It seems to me that when a ticket is marked as a duplicate, a link to the duplicate should be placed on the page for the primary ticket (the one it duplicates.)
Alternatively, when a ticket is marked as a duplicate, all of its information could be copied to (or, better yet, transcluded onto) the page of the primary ticket. Though this second solution seems much more complicated to implement, but might offer even better functionality than just linking.

We are beginning to use trac as a replacement for Bugzilla as we like the fact trac integrates so nicely with svn and like the wiki features too.

This is the one feature I miss from bugzilla. Will try the plugin though.
