How to add trigger when closing work item as duplicate

We’re using functionality for defects regarding duplicate work items that we would like to have for tasks as well.

Here’s what we do:

1) Close a defect

2) Set the resolution to ‘Duplicate’ and hit the save button  

3) Jazz RTC 5.0.2 will now ask to provide the duplicate work item  

We need this behaviour for tasks as well.  

I added ‘Duplicate’ as a resolution for tasks. However, I can close the task, set the resolution to Duplication and save the work item. Jazz doesn’t ask for the duplicated work item in this case.  

I’ve been trying to find a hook/trigger that defines what happens when you close a work item and set the resolution to ‘duplicate’.  

Could you point me in the right direction on how to accomplish the same behaviour for tasks as for defects?

Thank you.

 Thanks Sam,


In an environment with 300+ people we do have cases where we have the same work defined multiple times throughout multiple software groups. It's not our goal to do this though ;-) We do need the possibility to be able to flag a work item as duplicate and preferably have that triggered automatically when closing a task.

this is hard coded. I opened enhancement https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/242467
to move it to a selectable plugin..

but in your case, duplicate task doesn't make sense to me.. unless you are telling me in your environment multiple people document the need for the SAME work over and over

unfortunately, none of the documented extension approaches provide the ability to prompt for additional data like this operating does.

You could attempt to read the product source (most provided in SDK download bundle) to determine how the product does this.

Would be interesting to know. I don't know a solution either, unfortunately.
