Description

« Hide

Add the ability to create a linked issue.

For example when viewing issue A, you could click 'create linked issue' and it would send you to the create form - with an additional select box for the link type. The form could be prefilled with data from the original issue (ie project, component, versions etc).

Useful when creating sub issues.

Added ability to peform basic clone issue action. Issues can be cloned within the same project and are linked with a "clone" link specified in the properties file.

Guys,

I don't think the implemented 'clone issue' covers the functionality as described by Mike in the original Description field.

It would be great to be able to 'create a linked issue'. It's a real chore to have to create an issue and go back later to link it.

Any thoughts?

James

James...as a user who uses the link functionality a lot, isn't the "Link this issue to another issue" operation enough for what you're after? Basically, you can create the new issue, and by clicking on that link, link it to any other, with a list of recently viewed issues to choose from. I wouldn't see that flow as "going back later"...

Yes it achieves the same goal.

I'm simply talking from a User Interface / task-flow point of view.

I realise it's a "nice to have". The scroll wheel in the ipod is a nice to have. In an IDE tab-completion is a nice to have.

My point is, the functionality I want was described and raised by Mike, and I don't think what was supplied justifies closing this issue.

As a "power user", - I have no problem using the current functionality, but if you actually did some controlled usability tests, the average user would struggle. (I'm in the process of trying to get my current workplace to buy an enterprise license. )

Hi James,

From my understanding of this you would like to have a functionailty similar to 'Create a Sub-task' but for any arbitrary link type, for example 'Duplicate'?

Rather than 'Reopening' this issue could you create a new issue? This would allow us to better gauge the popularity of the Improvement before we go any further.

Thanks,
Brian

Cheers Brian.

JRA-7824 has been created. vote now!

Funnily enough, I think the functionality would have been useful in creating the above said issue, - (although I don't have 'link issue' privilages, ofcourse).

thankyou

James
