In particular, this is often the case with feature requests, where implementing a certain request may make related requests obsolete. Likewise, implementing a feature request may address other bugs, too. Thus, it would be nice if there was a way to support this relationship directly in BugZilla. Thanks for considering this suggestion Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 12286 ***
Status: UNCONFIRMED → RESOLVED
Closed: 18 years ago
Resolution: --- → DUPLICATE
not sure if this is really a duplicate of #12286: I did check #12286 before posting this request, and it seemed much more comprehensive and complex than what I am suggesting here: Basically, adressing this one could be as simple as adding the same field type as "depends on" and "blocks" are-while 12286 is significantly more involved (on the other hand, while this request is not literally a duplicate of 12286, implementing it could very well be done if 12286 was indeed available). So, the relationship between bugs #332541 & #12286 may indeed be a good example for the point of having inter-dependencies that are not necessarily duplicates. Which is to say: Bug #12286 might OBSOLETE Bug #332541 ;-)
