Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposl] Improve JIRA resolution and introduce a "Solved by" resolution
+1 for the proposed solution because you could also have two issues describing a different problem but with the same fix.

I can think of some potential problems: * Duplicates in the release notes generated by JIRA * Missing tracability in the commits (it would need that the commit be referencing the 2 jira issues) Note: FTR just checked and JIRA supports adding new issue links so that’s doable: https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/admin/ViewLinkTypes!default.jspa Personally I prefer the proposed solution because of these 2 problems. I don’t see any drawback for the proposed solution ATM (except additional knowledge to have to use our jira best practices which would also be true for this new proposal).

Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposl] Improve JIRA resolution and introduce a "Solved by" resolution
I have no problem with the "Duplicate" resolution. It's very explicit. Some issues have multiple manifestations, but a single cause.

Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposl] Improve JIRA resolution and introduce a "Solved by" resolution
Hi, I'm +1 to have the "Solved by" and since this will have only one purpose, I don't see the need of the extra "depends on". If possible, we should link a related issue with the same marker.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposl] Improve JIRA resolution and introduce a "Solved by" resolution
Hi devs, Right now we often use “duplicate” when we have an issue that is solved by another issue (usually a more specific one). This is not semantically correct. Proposal: * Add a new jira resolution named “Solved by” * Best practice: when using “solved by”, also use the “depends on” link WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
