Details
Currently the Duplicates list is not editable on the modal/legacy bug page, and we don’t have such a list on the new bug page. It should be editable, so the bug(s) added to the field can be easily marked as duplicate, while the bug(s) removed from the field will be reopened.

I got switched from legacy to modal mode recently, and "Always enable edit mode" was checked for me -- or maybe I checked it, I'm not sure. That made it hard to find the duplicates list.
Always enabling edit mode seems like a common thing for developers and other people who live in Bugzilla. At least it is for me, since I'm always editing bugs. Having to switch to non-edit mode to easily see a bug's duplicates isn't great. Could this bug, or some other solution, be prioritized, please?

This is a new feature not prioritized at this moment. But showing the read-only Duplicates field even in the Edit mode is easy, just a single line change I think. I can do it as part of Bug 1344091.

Wearing my Thunderbird QA hat, this would be extremely useful to have.
For example, when a bad bug is getting more duplicates, currently each duplicate must be marked individually and will trigger its own message on the main bug. If (per this bug) we'd allow editing the duplicates field on the main bug, one could add multiple duplicates with just a single message triggered on the main bug.
Any chances of this getting implemented after all?
Kohei no longer has the time to work on Bugzilla.
This isn't a high priority item so is unlikely to fix address any time soon.
