masc 2004-09-08 08:11 reporter ~0007484	The relationship "parent-of" is automatically set during the creation phase of the cloned bug. It it right? Or you have discovered a different behaviour.

TomR 2004-09-08 08:43 reporter ~0007487	No that is correct, however I would like to be able to choose the kind of relationship. Sometimes I would have the cloned bug to be a child of, sometimes related to. But definitly not parent of. I use it in two ways: Either like a template for multiple issues with same base, in that case i would like the cloned bug have a relation child of the original. Other use is when we got bugs from different customers which we self rreport in the systen and are similar, the we would like related to. A solution would be tho put in the config file if you want to set the relationship type when cloning a bug. Second put an option in as default type for the relationship type.

masc 2004-09-08 09:43 reporter ~0007494	Now I understand. We can add a listbox in the report page in which the submitter can select which type of relationship to set between the two bugs (the source one and the cloned one).

stevemagruder 2004-09-27 12:42 reporter ~0007772	This sounds like a good idea. Question: When you say 'clone', do mean that you're clicking the 'Create Child' button? If so, with the proposed change, I suppose this button would then read 'Create Clone'. Or am I missing something?

vboctor 2004-09-28 05:24 manager ~0007782	I think this is a good idea. I think we should do the following: Change "Create Child" to "Clone". When updating the info of the cloned issue, the user gets to choose on of the following relationships: o Not Related to Source Issue o Child of Source Issue o Parent of Source Issue o Related to Source Issue I think "duplicate of" doesn't make sense, or does it? Should we add it anyway and leave it up to the user to decide? As usual, ideas are welcome.

TomR 2004-09-28 06:38 reporter ~0007785	Duplicate of does not make sense to me either.

masc 2004-09-28 06:54 reporter ~0007786	I quite completed the patch to fix this item. I'm going to send it later on today or tomorrow.

stevemagruder 2004-09-28 10:24 reporter ~0007804	As I noted in a forum thread, I don't think "parent of" and "child of" make complete sense (i.e., to a non-programmer, it's reverse-logic for a parent to be dependent on a child). Could these be changed to "dependent on" and "prereq of"?
