Redmine

I would like to be able to printout a subsection of an issue to give to a customer.

For example

In order to do planning and estimation I use an issue (of type "quote") to track internal notes and research, it ends up being a fairly comprehensive amount of information and formatting etc to build a document. Then I will take sections of that and copy them into a new issue (of tracker type "customer quote"), and copy the bits and pieces of parent issue I want into it and then give that to the customer.

I'd like to cherry pick info from that main issue to build up a customer facing version of the issue, which I could export as PDF as the delivered quote. I can see a lot of different ways this could be accomplished at various hack-ish levels from just embedded tags in the issue that a plugin parser would pull out on the way to export / PDF generation, or a new Redmine user who's view of the issue can only see the content of the issue between the tags, having the internal information removed.

I think it would be a useful thing, but maybe I'm looking at it all the wrong way?

Appreciate any feedback or discussion.
