Requirement: When changing resolution of A as duplicate of B the dependencies between A and B should be cleared. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual Results: After marking as duplicate dependencies need to be removed manualy. Expected Results: Requirement: When changing resolution of A as duplicate of B the dependencies between A and B should be cleared.
i don't see why. if you use showdependencytree, you can click 'hide resolved'. what if you're wrong? then when you reopen you've lost the dependency. what if the dependency is A => C => B and you resolve A as a dupe of B?

This is a good point. Changed summary from "clear" to "notify about". A "notify about" mechanism in Bugzilla would still be a good help and the decision is at the users site. Recursion dependeny check (A => B => C) as mentioned above is / would be a great feature. See similar Bug 243979 DUP bug chain list option for Show Dependency Tree
Summary: changing resolution of A as duplicate of B should clear dependencies between A and B → changing resolution of A as duplicate of B should notify about dependencies between A and B
This is probably a duplicate of bug 65382.
