how can we disable the resolve action on Duplicate linked workitems?
when we mark another workitem as a duplicate of the current one, by creating a Duplicate of link, and save this workitem, the other end workitem is changed to Resolved (done/closed, ire its terminal) state
is there a was to disable this behavior? Sam |
Accepted answer
Unfortunately, there is no way to configure the behaviour for auto resolution ( RTC 4.0.1 ) .
Currently, the code is hard coded to check for two workflow ids (bugzillaWorkflow or com.ibm.team.workitem.defectWorkflow) and applies the auto resolution behaviour.
Therefore, the only way to disable this behaviour is to duplicate the existing workflow and assign that workflow to the defect work item type

Comments interesting.. our defect workflow id is different.. will check. (3.0.1.1)

WRT changing the ID of the defect workflow ... probably worth making that a separate top level question.
thx, will do.. side note, I wanted to submit an enhancement request to move this function into a process advisor/participant.. so it could be disabled as needed.. how do I do enhancements? I see record a bug?, but thats not right..

A "bug" is a generic term that some folks use to describe any work item. I agree that this is misleading, so hopefully we can get that terminology fixed in the web page.
but if you click there (create a bug), the type on the form is Defect only.. that means someone else has to come around and reclassify.. extra work.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

Hi Sam,
I just tried to duplicate what you described and I was unable to. Can you provide more details like what version of RTC you're using and what the work item types are? To make sure I understand your scenario:
1. Open work item A.
2. Go to the Links tab and add a link type of Duplicate Of that points to work item B.
3. Save work item A.
4. Then work item B is automatically set to the Resolved state?
Whether or not adding a Duplicate Of link auto-transitions to Resolved depends on the work item type. For example, in the Scrum template, this auto-transition occurs for Defect work item types, but not for Task work item types.
hm.. I watch the forum EVERY DAY, and didn't see these posts til this morning..
