Summary: ITS: Prevent marking tickets as duplicates without
specifying original report
Status: Open
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: Website problem
PHP Version: Irrelevant
Block user comment: N
Private report: N
New Comment:
Just to explain how that currently works: if a user refers to some
other ticket using âbug hash numberâ, the other ticket
automatically gets an entry âRelated To: Bug hash numberâ. These
entries can be filtered via the related reports âbuttonâ. See,
for instance, <https://bugs.php.net/77347>, which has been closed
as duplicate of <https://bugs.php.net/77278>. Only the latter has
a filterable related reports entry. So, basically no duplicate is
presently supposed to show any related reports.
Also, there is a problem regarding comments which contain
inadvertant referrals to other tickets. See, for instance,
<https://bugs.php.net/2307> which claims to be related to
<https://bugs.php.net/77349> which it is certainly not.

Hmm, that would require advanced AI, wouldn't it?
Anyhow, I suggest to move the discussion regarding possible
improvements of referrals and duplicates to the php-webmaster@
mailing list, since a bug tracker is unsuitable for brainstorming,
which is certainly necessary in this case.

Description:
------------
I noticed a few tickets marked as duplicates without any indication of which
tickets they would duplicate. For instance, the following 2 tickets have their
Status field set to Duplicate, but the Related reports tab is empty:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60024
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62132
As this is the result of changes by 2 developers, it looks like this is not
exceptional, and would deserve a change in the system so developers cannot mark
a ticket as duplicate when failing to specify a related ticket tracking the
same issue.
