  Description
  
  Hi, I rearranged one of the recently created task as parent to the existing tasks. After this when I started setting relationships among issues, I am getting an error "this relation would create a circular dependency".
	The details are:
	- Issue 1 precedes issue 2
- Issue 2 precedes issue 3
	This relationship is throwing the above mentioned error. Is it because I moved the existing issues as child tasks of a new one? The relationship I set between 2 issues (precedes or follows) is very simple and noway it can cause a circular dependency.
   
 
 
  
  
  
  
    
    
    
    Hi, the issue I mentioned here is in the version 2.3.0; not in 2.2.3. Sorry for the wrong info. When I tried in 2.2.3, the issue relationship works without any error!
 
   
  
  
    
    
    
    
       - Affected version (unused) changed from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0
- Affected version changed from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0
 
   
  
  
    
    
    
    I'm also having a problem with circular dependency.
	I copied an issue and when I wanted to set the first issue to "duplicated by" I get the error "this relation would create a circular dependency". Even if I delete the relation "copied from" I still get the same error. I was recommended to use the duplicate functionality when having stories unfinished in a sprint in the Redmine Backlogs plugin (http://www.redminebacklogs.net/en/usage-scrum-master.html). As of speeking unfortunately I cannot get this to work.
	I'm using Redmine version: 2.3.2.stable
	Is it possible to prioritize a fix for this bug?
