Redmine

The current behaviour of copying issues is to keep status : If we copy a closed issue I create a new closed one in Redmine 2.5.2.

This behaviour could be set in administration.

Administrator could choose if copying issues keep original status (current behaviour) or set the status to default one.

In fact, due to workflows, preserve status can forbid users to work on issues, if original status is used. Because, they can't change the status of copied issue.

Another element is that, currently copying an issue give the ability to a user to choose too much values of status for a copied issue during creation (It seems there is no relation between copying issue and workflows during create a copying issue).
