I have seen some related issues on this subject, but nothing that quite hits the mark.

There are a couple of situations where I would like to be able to clear the "Closed" date

• When an Issue has been cloned / copied from another project, if the original issue was closed, the Closed date is still set to that original issue. Although, you don't see the Closed date in the Issue tracker, when running queries, the closed date shows up and it is very bizarre to see a closed date that is before (maybe more than a year) the start date. (Note: We have reasons that we need to clone and not just create and relate). This seems like a bug to me -- everything else is "settable".

• When an Issue has been accidentally closed, we can mess with workflow to re-open, but that Closed date still indicates this is closed.

Any suggestions? This is especially a thorn in the side for my metric-loving management who likes to look at closed date (he knows now that he has to combine this with an actual closed status). I have Admin but the only place I see Closed is in the queries & query options.
Thx!
