Hierarchical issue templates
Added by Ingmar Heinrich about 16 years ago.
Updated almost 13 years ago.
Description
There are many companies that have recurring complex workflows with partly parallel strands of action. Of course, one could create a 'root' ticket and a hierarchy of related issues for this, but this has large potential for error.
It would be great to have hierarchical issue templates, e. g.
Main Ticket
Subticket 1
Subticket 2
Subticket 2-1
Subticket 2-1
Subticket 3
If I create an issue from the template Main Ticket, a total of 6 issues gets created, with the correct relations. Child tickets should inherit some of their parent's settings, like Priority.
As an extension, also relative start and/or due dates as well as different kinds of issue relations could be reflected.
I could probably write a plugin. Could someone give me some hints?

rather for Issue, I think, it would be usefull for Wiki-pages and File/Folder Structures.
Lets assume a company has a defined process, which contains folder structure with document templates in it. This all put into a zip file and for every new project it is unzipped and used...
Sample of structure:
01-project planning
02-design
03-engineering
04-testing
05- ...
each of this folder could have a subfolders with document-templates.
Could this be done?

... back to Issue Templates... sorry, I was to fast with this sentence: after reworking it a bit -- it would be also useful! :)
Wanted to add, that it would be nice to have dependencies/behavior on that basis too...
e.g. Feature #123
- WorkItem #1234
- WorkItem #1235
where:
- the percentage of #123 complete would reflect the percent completed of both child items
- the feature (parent item) could not be closed until all child items are closed
etc.
There is a plugin for wiki templates. The fetaure is pretty near and code can be reused or even just advanced to it.
