Problem

Yet another small trick to make your user's life bearable: when developers close an issue with resolution duplicate, you should normally copy the watchers and the reporter to the original issue.

...

Writing the code

This is done in SIL SIL™ in the following way:

string u;
number n=0;
n=size(fieldHistory(key, "Link"));
if (n>0 and resolution=="Duplicate")
{
 string dKey=getElement(fieldHistory(key, "Link"),n - 1); // history
 %dKey%.watchers=addElementIfNotExist(%dKey%.watchers, reporter);
 for (u in watchers)
 {
 %dKey%.watchers=addElementIfNotExist(%dKey%.watchers, u);
 }
}

...

You just need to put this on the postfunction on the transition 'Resolve issue' and  and that's all.
