I am interested in the ability to link related tickets together. I know that
I can edit a ticket's description and place a reference to another ticket
there-in (or similarly in a comment), but that does not automatically link
the target ticket back to the source ticket.
Our customer uses the JIRA system for issues, and JIRA has the nice feature
of Links - it allows establishing a link in a given ticket (i.e. tic_1) to
another related ticket (i.e. tic_2) in a dedicated field on the ticket.
There is then a LINK section on the ticket that will show tic_2 (when
looking at tic_1), and vice-versa show tic_1 [when looking at tic_2]. this
reverse linking is automatically established when the initial link is
defined. As the link can be initiated from either ticket, it can also be
dropped from either ticket. There is no limit to the number of links
to;/from a given ticket.
JIRA also provides the feature of specifying the TYPE of relationship
between the tickets - i.e. Parent Of/Child of. However this additional
information is not critical - simply having the ability to auto-establish
bi-direction links b/w tickets is what is useful and desired.
This can come in extremely handy in a situation where perhaps a Parent
Ticket is created to round up Child tickets for bugs/enhancements that will
go into a release. Understandably milestones versions can aid in this also
- but a ticket as a Parent issue for a release provides the ability to
attach a deployment schedule, contingency plans, etc to the release as a
whole.
Any information on how to achieve this, or if there is a plug-in, etc would
be greatly appreciated.
