Changing tracker type will lose watchers
Added by Kai Hu about 14 years ago.
Updated about 14 years ago.
Description
version : 1.0.1
steps to reproduce:
- create a defect ticket
- add a few watchers
- update the ticket to be a feature ticket
- all watchers are gone
- Priority changed from Normal to High
The implications of this behaviour results in unexpected loss of watchers...
Currently, a workaround to change the tracker without losing all the current watchers is to utilize the issue-move functionality.

- Resolution set to Fixed
Fixed in r4181. It may be too late for 1.0.2, so I target it for 1.1.0.
Cause of the bug : it's because changing tracker triggers build_new_issue_from_params method but without params[:issue]['watcher_user_ids'] (when an issue already exists, watchers are managed in the sidebar, not in the main form). It's just a temporary patch, it's not really clean that updating an existing issue triggers new/create actions. So it may need more work later...

It shouldn't wait for 1.1.0, Eric: could you look into adding it to 1.0.2, and if you don't stage it for 1.0.3?
- Target version changed from 1.1.0 to 1.0.2
Felix:
Agreed, it should be fine for 1.0.2 as long as it merges successfully.
- Status changed from Resolved to Closed
