Redmine

Problem¶

Redmine 3.3.2 in r16317 changed the behavior in backwards incompatible manner.

Before r16317 - after creating an issue, user was redirected to the issue that he created.

This was very useful because after working on a task with remote team members - you could CTRL+C/CTRL+V the link to other people and they could login their hours.

After r16317 - we are redirected to parent task and Redmine so far does not provide to alter this behavior in Administrative section.

This breaks our workflow because we work on long tree structures and finding "last" task is very inconvenient.

Temporary workaround¶

I did manage to find temporary workaround by commenting back_url hidden form field when creating the issue but I had to modify the source code - which I prefer not to do.
