Copy the reporter and watchers on duplicate issues
On this page:
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 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 that's all.
