Description

The copy function does not copy the subtasks related to the task being copied. However, when you move a parent task, all subtasks are moved with it.

We have been able to make changes so that when you copy a task that has subtasks related to it, all the subtasks are copied as well.

We made the changes in the issues.rb model. If anyone needs the same, let me know.

This functionality will be very useful for us.

Here is a copy of the issues.rb file. You need to replace the existing issues.rb file. The changes that were made start on line 169.

Hope it helps.

I have tested it and seems to work fine, but I dont like the idea of replacing the existing issue.rb.
Could it be possible to make this "copy function" as a plugin?

I am sure it's possible. But I don't have the knowledge or time to make that change. The source code is there... feel free to do whatever you want with it. Wish I could help out more but I already put too much time in figuring out how to make this work and testing it out.

Good Luck!

Beginners Mistake: accidentally merged the copy_children function as private method.

please, help needed: I have changed the issue.rb + restarted apache and nothing happened (when I copy main tasks it does not copy subtasks). Am I missing something?

Also restart the mongrel services?

didn't work. Not sure if the order is important (apache and mongrel).

All I did was change my issues.rb file and restart all the services. If that isn't working for you, I am not sure why. Hopefully someone else can provide an answer. (Mine still works as coded)

Testing this on a bitnami 1.2.0 stable host:

patching file app/models/issue.rb
Hunk #1 succeeded at 205 (offset 28 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 902.

saving rejects to file app/models/issue.rb.rej

Went ahead and tested anyway and seems to function properly.
