Description
We have a family of related subprojects under a parent. Often I will assign the same basic task in each of the subprojects (so that I can see how it goes on the first one, and then schedule the same work on the siblings).
Typically I copy and then move the task from one project to the next, but this feels a bit clumsy... Copy duplicates an issue in the current project and Move moves an existing issue to a different project (but does not copy it). Since Copy is a specialised feature, perhaps it could ask for a project first (default being the current project) and then proceed, doing a Copy and Move if requested?

Adds ability to bulk copy issues (#1847).
This can be done by checking the 'Copy' checkbox on the 'Move' form.
Adds a 'Move and follow' button on Move/Copy view to be redirected to the created issue(s) rather than the source project issue list (#1847).

We are writing a patch for this plan to add a checkbox to the Move screen "Make a copy" which would move a copy of the issue instead of the issue itself.

Thanks, this looks like a very useful patch, but I'm not sure how to use it. Is it a diff? Is it a copy of a specific file?

Guys - I messed up with the patches (it was a redmine thing, I tried to save the patch file and saved the HTML page for the file instead...)
Our original patch is attached.

Hi,
in the diff file, issues_controller.rb section, I replaced:
this:
unsaved_issue_ids << issue.id unless issue.move_to(@target_project, new_tracker,is_copy)
with this:
unsaved_issue_ids << issue.id unless issue.move_to_return_issue(@target_project, new_tracker,is_copy)
otherwise Redmine comes up with a "number of arguments" error when you try to move more than one issue.

- Status changed from Closed to Reopened
There is one really irritating aspect of 'Move' that I have been meaning to flag for a long time - this report reminded me. After I 'Move' and issue to a new project I invariably want to edit it to:
- Assign a Category - Categories are per project so it will normally arrive without a category.
- Assign a person - if the users are different between projects I will sometimes need to assign it.
However after the move Redmine drops me into the All Issues list for the source project, meaning I then have to switch projects and search for the newly moved task. This is really undesireable behaviour, I should end up back on the same issue in the new project?

Can it be recorded that the issue was copied from former issue in the history?
