linking tickets.

Post by cbravo »

Hello guys, what's the use for the link button in a ticket? I see you can link two tickets and after you select the two tickets to link togheter you get an option to link it as a parent ticket or as a child ticket. What does it do? I've tried searching in the forums and in the help topics but couldn't find anything.

Appreciate your answers.


Greetings,

It means that it shortcuts one ticket to another. This is useful if you have different things you want to do with the same ticket.

Ok, thank you. That clarifies much for me. How does it work with the join option then tho? I tried joining two tickets and the output is that one ticket dissapear but the info from it doesn't get appended to the other ticket. I thought the two tickets would combine along with the conversation and such so you could have all the info in one place.

Merge should do what you ask. Link should simply place a shortcut on the right hand side (3.x) of your tickets.
