[rt-users] Custom status auto-creates dependent ticket?

[Roode, Eric]

Hello,
 
    I searched the web, the FAQ, the mailing list archives, and the
docs, but didn't see any reference to this specific issue.  If I've
missed an obvious answer, I apologize!  :-)
 
    I'm running 3.8.2.  I set up two custom statuses, by adding Set(...)
lines in RT_SiteConfig.pm.  These statuses are "working" (the owner is
actively working on the problem) and "waiting" (the owner cannot proceed
because they're waiting on someone or something).
 
    Now when a user changes the status of one of their tickets to
"working", RT creates a NEW ticket, identical to the old one (but with a
new id number), changes the new ticket's status to "working", leaves the
old ticket's status at "open", and adds a dependency in the new ticket
on the old ticket.  This seems like a needless complication.
 
    What is the meaning of this behavior, and can it be changed so that
the custom statuses behave like other statuses?
 
Thank you,
