[Rt-devel] RT3.8beta - creating child tickets

[Jason Long]

Thanks, my one major complaint about this feature has been fixed.

Another bug. The newly created ticket copies the links from the original 
ticket. This may be the way it was designed, but it leads to undesirable 
results.

Create a ticket.
Click Children->Create to create a child ticket.
So far so good.

Go back to the first ticket, and click Children->Create to make a second 
child ticket.
Go back to the original ticket, and see what happened.

It created some sort of infinite loop between the two child tickets... 
kind of hard to explain, I'm hoping you'll be able to see it for yourself.

Frankly, when I create a ticket through the Links screen, I don't think 
it should copy all attributes from the origin ticket. Perhaps the 
subject, and maybe the watchers, should be copied, but definitely don't 
copy the links.
