Hi All, Some contributors have suggested (in comments in this ML on the above ticket) that we make more use of the ParentTicket-ChildTicket mechanism (meaning that BugFix and Improvement tickets are converted to SubTask tickets) in JIRA to enable parties involved to get a better overview of what is related.
I seem to remember that this discussion has come before (as side comments to tickets and in other threads), but can't easily reference a single one from the past. And IIRW there are both proponents and opponents for the concept. What are your thoughts on this? And, can we get a consensus on the subject and register that in one of our BestPractice pages?
