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?
Thanks

"depends on" is not really semantically correct either, if it's
possible add custom links it would be nicer to have corresponding
ones.
WDYT?

I have no problem with the "Duplicate" resolution. It's very explicit. Some
issues have multiple manifestations, but a single cause.

Hi,
I'm +1 to have the "Solved by" and since this will have only one purpose, I
don't see the need of the extra "depends on". If possible, we should link a
related issue with the same marker.
Thanks,
Alex

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.

I can think of some potential problems:

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).

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