bi-directional links between tickets

[damarkus]

My apologies if this is already implemented, but I have googled, searched tickets, searched hacks, etc. to no luck.

I am interested in the ability to link related tickets together. I know that I can edit a ticekts description and place a reference to another ticket there-in (or similarly in a comment), but that does not automatically link the target ticket back to the source ticket.

Our customer uses the JIRA system for issues, and JIRA has the nice feature of Links - it allows esablishing a link in a given ticket (i.e. tic_1) to another related ticket (i.e. tic_2) in a dedicated field on the ticket. There is then a LINK section on the ticekt that will show tic_2 (when looking at tic_1), and vice versa show tic_1 [when looking at tic_s]. this reverse linking is automatically established when the initial link is defined. As the link can be initiated from either ticket, it can also be dropped from either ticket. There is no limit to the number of links to;/from a given ticket. Jira also provides the feature of specifying the TYPE of relationship between the tickets - i.e. Parent Of/Child of. HOwever this additional information is not critical - simply having the ability to auto-establsh bi-direction links b/w tickets is what is useful and desired. This can come in extremely handy in a situation where perhaps a Parent Ticket is created to round up Child tickets for bugs/enhancements that will go into a release. Understandly milestones & versions can aid in this also - but a ticket as a Prent issue for a release provides the ability to attach a deplyment schedule, contingency plans, etc to the release as a whole.

Hm, Google must have been down that day ;-) See ​google:ticket+dependencies for starting points on that topic.
