+1 for the proposed solution because you could also have two issues
describing a different problem but with the same fix.
Thanks,

I can think of some potential problems:
* Duplicates in the release notes generated by JIRA
* Missing tracability in the commits (it would need that the commit be referencing the 2
jira issues)
Note: FTR just checked and JIRA supports adding new issue links so that’s doable:
https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/admin/ViewLinkTypes!default.jspa
Personally I prefer the proposed solution because of these 2 problems. I don’t see any
drawback for the proposed solution ATM (except additional knowledge to have to use our
jira best practices which would also be true for this new proposal). The only thing that
comes to mind is whether we’ll be able to choose easily between “duplicate” and “solved
by” when we start using it. If we find that it’s hard to use then I agree we should
revisit it then and either drop the idea fully and go back the previous state or try
something else (like this new proposal).

Hi devs,
Right now we often use “duplicate” when we have an issue that is solved by
another issue (usually a more specific one). This is not semantically
correct.
Proposal:
* Add a new jira resolution named “Solved by”
* Best practice: when using “solved by”, also use the “depends on” link
WDYT?

We could also close the "duplicate" issue as Fixed (so no new resolution)
and add instead a "Fixed by" relation / link type. The users will see the
issue as Fixed and the developers will see the link to the actual fix.
Thanks,
Marius
