Issue Types

Submitted by mattr0 on 2011-02-07

This is a request that you can actually copy a issue type with all of its attributes and then just change the name. A lot of types I am creating have the same attributes to them. It would be nice to have a copy function.

There will be a clone function in version 1.0. However you should try to avoid having lots of similar issue types because it can become difficult to manage (suppose you want to add a new attribute or a new view, you have to repeat that for every type). From my experience it is sometimes better to use more generic types - for example I'm using a single issue type for both tasks and bugs and differentiate them by a drop-down attribute.
