Description

When there are many custom fields or projects, configuring a new tracker is painful work. Imagine that there are 300 custom fields in your Redmine instance. You have to check/uncheck 300 checkboxes.

It can be mitigated if Redmine has a feature to copy existing tracker. The feature to copy a role is already exists (#9258).

  • Target version set to Candidate for next major release

Thank you for posting the patch. I think the following change to the patch is necessary to fix an issue that the selection of "Copy workflow from" is cleared after validation error.

This can be fixed by adding a fixture.

Thanks Go MAEDA.
I could also confirm that the test fails in the environment where the database was rebuilt.
As you pointed out, I missed the addition of fixture on my patch.
