That's a really bad idea regardless. Why on earth would you want to delete legitimate tickets?
And believe me, I have users who, no matter how many "that's a really bad idea, are you sure you want to do that?" type warnings are thrown at them, they'll do it anyways.

Because I'm deleting a milestone, and the tickets are no longer valid.

I'm deleting the milestone because I'm either killing that project, or moving it to another install.

As it stands now, I can kill the milestone, and delete the tickets, but I have to delete them individually.

I too think it is a bad idea to link ticket deletions to a milestone deletion. However, to ease the burden of updating (or deleting) many tickets, existing ticket #525 is likely the way to go.

I'm tempted to close this ticket as 'wontfix', and refer you to that ticket (#525) to provide additional requirements if not currently covered by existing discussion. Are you OK with that?

I don't see any mention of deletions there, but I'll suggest it.

Considering that it's a proposal to use general queries for ticket actions, it probably would be the best place for it, as it gives you much more control over what's being deleted, and would make my request as simple as 'delete where milestone = XXX'.

Feel free to close this as wontfix, or dupe, and thanks for the suggestion (and for a great tool).
