Description
In the current development version, there is a bug
Imagine following scenario:
There are 2 tasks: "Issue1" and "Issue2", and "Issue2" follows "Issue 1" by x days. This works fine. But if I add an subtask to "Issue2" the startdate is not correctly set to Issue1.enddate + x, instead it is possible to set any date you want, without respecting the Issue Relation.
Furthermore, it is possible to set a relation so the subtask precedes "Issue 1", which creates a circular dependency.

I encountered some error which seems to relates to the same problem.
For example:
- Task A
-- Task A1
-- Task A2
- Task B
-- Task B1
-- Task B2
- Task C
Task C follows A, Task B1 follows C, Task B2 follows B1
If I set some follow or precede on subtask, where the parent task already has precedes or follows relations, these relations will be automatically removed without any warning or errormessage. I encountered this several times.

- Target version set to 2.3.0
This should be rechecked before 2.3 release.
Can anyone still confirm this?

I have rewritten the all_dependent_issues function in the issue model, which should eliminate the problem with circular dependency. But i'm not sure how to contribute it.

Hi,
Maybe your firm with tortoise. Just generate a diff with your changes.
If not, just upload a file with the corresponding function.
Maybe toshi or jean-Philippe can review this and apply the changes to the core.
This way it could be fixed before Redmine 2.3 will be released.

Fixed in r11640.
Furthermore, it is possible to set a relation so the subtask precedes "Issue 1", which creates a circular dependency.
Fixed as part of #8794.
Thanks for pointing this out.
