Description Kevin Benton CLA 2008-09-18 17:29:45 EDT
It'd be really nice to be able to drag find box searches in the task list over to the duplicate detection detector so those get saved in the detector list with the issue being managed.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-09-18 17:36:11 EDT
Not sure I understand this request. Kevin, are you suggesting to associate a local search with a task to easily recall the search when reopening the task?
Comment 2 Kevin Benton CLA 2008-10-07 13:41:22 EDT
Actually, I'm not.  What I'm suggesting is a way to (for example) drag a My Bugs bug into a duplicate detector to see if any bugs that are already in the My Bugs query have what looks like a possible duplicate.  Say, bug 411043 is a fix that isn't scheduled to land in production until next week, but I'm still getting bug reports from users.  It'd be really cool to be able to have a quick/easy way to locate duplicates of that bug without having to open it using a duplicate detector.  Better yet - if it were possible to switch from a subtask view of the bug listing to a duplicate detection view, that would accomplish what I'm after. :-)
