Feature #23610

Updated by Go MAEDA over 8 years ago

ATM, when copying an issue *A* to an issue *B*, the user can choose between 2 statuses : 
 - The status from *A*     (which is selected by default) 
 - The default status of current tracker from *B* 

 But this can lead to problems : 
 - *B* may be in a status that the user can't interact with 
 - It allows user to skip parts of a workflow 
 - _(Specific)_ This leads to unintended cases, which mess up things like external data exports or billing 

 They can manually change the status of *B* during the copy, but from my experience, they don't (the status is reset on about 10% of copied issues only) 
 This behaviour should be set in the _Administration panel_. 

 The patch is attached, and here's the corresponding commit : https://github.com/vincent-clipet/redmine/commit/45335d4e9e7d7d4aa89dbc282c52dc1b0368b116 

 It adds a configuration setting (_reset_issue_status_on_copy_). When checked, all copied issues statuses are forced to the default status of the current tracker.
