This would also be useful to us. we use a structure of issus -> child issues with set proceeds/follows as a template which is copied. At the moment the users just re-add the relationships manually but it would def add convenience to be able to maintain that.

I suggest all proceed/follow relations should be copied. Also it would be perfect if there was an option to enable/disable creation of copied to/from relations.

Much needed!

still important and relevant

It would be great, this feature missing me a lot

This is how I do it in one of my private plugins:

# Import issues
ids = @source.issues.roots.order(:id).map do |old_issue|
  new_issue = old_issue.copy({ project: @project, notify: false }, { link: false })
  new_issue.save!
  [old_issue.id, new_issue.id]
end.to_h

# Recreate relations
@source.issues.roots.order(:id).each do |old_issue|
  old_issue.relations_from.each do |relation|
    attributes = relation.attributes.except('id')
    attributes['issue_from_id'] = ids[attributes['issue_from_id']]
    attributes['issue_to_id'] = ids[attributes['issue_to_id']]
    IssueRelation.create!(attributes)
  end
end

I don't have time to make a patch for Issue#copy, but above code should be simple enough for others to be able to make a patch out of it.

Selling a soul for this very necessary functionality. If someone made a patch, please share.
