Summary	0004224: Can't resolve issue as duplicate of other with existing "related to" relationship
Description	Doing some tinkering demonstrating the system to a customer and ran accross this one. I created two issues and a "related to" relationship between them. If I try to resolve either of them, select "duplicate" for the resolution, and enter the id of the other; I get "APPLICATION ERROR 0001800" "ERROR: There is already a relationship between these two issues."
Tags	No tags attached.

pdugas 2004-07-30 21:58 reporter ~0006491	Perhaps a more suitable and explanatory error message is in order? "APPLICATION ERROR" and "by design" don't seem to jive. ;)

masc 2004-07-31 11:54 reporter ~0006495	In the actual implementation you can resolve a bug as duplicate of an other is between the two bugs are no relationship or, if it exists, it's the right duplicate relationship. In your case the relationship was "related to", for this the error message.

masc 2004-07-31 11:57 reporter ~0006496	Inviato memorandum a VictorBoctor Victor, when a user resolves a bug as duplicate of an other bug and there is a relationship between them, we can force to override the old relationship with the new duplicate relationship. What do you think about this option?

masc 2004-09-09 15:53 reporter ~0007518	Inviato memorandum a vboctor Victor, I discovered this still open bug on relationship. I think we can force the duplicate-of relationship just in case of related-to relationship already set between the two bugs. Do you agree on it?

vboctor 2004-09-09 17:21 manager ~0007521	In my opinion, if we do that then we should do it as follows: Overwrite "any" (not just "related to") existing relationship with "duplicate of" if resolved as duplicate. Allow the user to change the relationship between two issues by just re-adding it with a different type. This should overwrite the existing error rather than prompting an error message. The history can show the first one deleted, then the next one added, but user may get one email notification. Ideally, the user should get a warning when overwritting an exist relationship, but this is a nice to have (in my opinion).
