Should we close this new issue or close 0019865 where you asked for a status that can be selected?

If you agree to implement 0019865, then this one can be closed.
If you decide NOT to implement 0019865, then this one is a decent fallback solution.

Thanks !

Cloning is essentially a way to open a new issue based on an existing one.

Consequently, the Status is determined by the contents of the "Assigned To" field, i.e.:

  • if empty, cloned issue's status will be NEW ($g_bug_submit_status)
  • if set, status will be ASSIGNED ($g_bug_assigned_status)

In my opinion this behavior is by design, and I don't think it should be changed.

If you want an exact copy of an issue, I invite you to do so from group actions in the the "View Issues" page.

Does this satisfy your requirement ?

I did not not realise that a "copy" action existed in the group menu.

Would on't you put the "copy" action in the single issue edition page ?

Kyle_Katarn,
can we close your two issues and track just 0010019 ?

OK. Is it possible to open an issue in order to have the "copy" action added on single issue view page ?
