Duplicating an Issue

It is quite common to have a new issue that is similar to an existing one. In TC Tracker, you have the ability to duplicate an existing issue when creating a new one. This can save a certain amount of time when creating new Issues.

To duplicate an existing Issue, select the Issue in question and choose Edit / Copy from the main menu. You can then duplicate the issue in any Project by selecting the project and choosing Edit / Paste from the main menu.

When pasting an Issue, a new issue is created using the details of the issue that was copied. If the Issue is being duplicated (as opposed to being Moved), the History of the new issue is changed to reflect that it is a new Issue.

Note: Issues are copied to the clipboard in two formats. The first format is for internal use, but there is also a textual representation of the issue that can be copied into text-based applications. The text version in the clipboard is the XML representation of the Issue.
