I don't know if anyone responded to you or not, but the work-around for this problem is to make sure that the tickets that you want to merge are in the same queue. That will at least take care of queue, I am not sure about custom fields, as I haven't double checked that myself.

It is annoying, because we have had situations where owners of a ticket that is composed of merged tickets can not see all of the details because parts of the merged ticket remained in a queue that they didn't have access to.

Situation:

User1 sends an e-mail that creates ticket #1 with subject "I have problem 1" into the queue General

I am a master of ticket mgmt, so that in a few seconds I take in charge the ticket, open it, assign to it the queue "hw" and CF "company1"

After a few minutes User2 sends an e-mail that creates ticket #2 with subject "I have problem 1 too" into the queue General

I would like to have only one reference for this problem as the two tickets are actually for the same problem 1.

I think I have to use the "Mege into" functionality and these are the steps I take:

1) from "10 newest unowned tickets" section I click on the subject link for ticket #2
2) select jumbo
3) I go down to "New links" and insert 1 into the section "merge into:"

But the effect is that

A) ticket #2 disappears as it merges into #1 (OK)
B) the values of queue and CF for the ticket #1 changes in what were the #2 ones (KO) Is it a bug or me incorrectly using the functionality?

How would be the correct way to manage this situation?
At _http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/ManualIntroduction_ i can find explanation only for the other kinds of ticket-links...

Thanks,

Gianluca
