Description

Using the Browser "Back" Navigation button when copying projects (used Safari on a Mac) to create the same project (as a series of subprojects of one parent project!) multiple times (Browser asks to resubmit form data, clicking "yes" of course), the following happens:

  • Redmine says Name and Identifier are already taken.
  • Changing name and identifier lets the copy be saved.

Doing this respeatedly results in projects circularly containing each other, duplicate or ambiguous identifiers, etc.

Repro:
  • Create project.
  • Create subproject.
  • Copy subproject in Administration Menu, name it "test1"
  • Hit Back on browser.
  • Click "Send" on re-send form data
  • Change project name and identifier to "test2", click save.
  • Repeat several times.
Later:
  • try to manage or move around projects.
  • observe weird projects structure (see screenshots)
