ID: 77356 User updated by: chealer at gmail dot com Reported by: chealer at gmail dot com Summary: ITS: Prevent marking tickets as duplicates without specifying original report Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Ah, thank you Christoph And sorry for the question, although looking at that plan I guess it would be more correct to state that bugsnet *is being* superseded. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2022-01-23 00:58:40] c...@php.net Looks like that's covered by <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/github_issues>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2022-01-23 00:45:18] chealer at gmail dot com Christoph, could you provide evidence that bugsnet has been superseded? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2022-01-20 17:06:32] c...@php.net Given that bugsnet has been superseded by GH issues, it is sufficiently safe to assume that this issue won't be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-27 11:52:13] chealer at gmail dot com Ah, thank you for the explanation cmb, I see what you mean but I did not mean to suggest using any artificial intelligence, no. Sorry, I misunderstood how Related reports works. I was rather suggesting a field to explicitly define the report with which a duplicate is redundant, as Bugzilla does: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/bugzilla/bugzilla_duplicate.htm https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548960 This field would appear when the Status field would be set to the value Duplicate. It would also allow other improvements to duplicate handling, like managing those who subscribe to a ticket automatically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-27 10:54:19] c...@php.net 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. > [â¦] 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. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
