When I change the Milestone of a bug which has duplicates associated with it, I'd like those duplicate bugs to follow this bug to its new Milestone. Like ducklings following their mother.

Reproducible: Always

Well, I understand the need. We wouldn't add just an option to synchronize the Milestones, though, because there are so many different fields that different organizations want to synchronize across duplicates. So we'd make it globally configurable.

I figured that, but I didn't want to over-generalize it, so I started with my specific desire.

  Thanks. :-) It's definitely good to know what people's specific requirements are.

IMO, this shouldn't be even configurable, but put in a extension.
