User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13 Build Identifier: 3.0.3 On 3.0.3 when you clone a bug, the blocks depends fields are automatically set. For example, if I clone bug 21 to create bug 40, I also get 40 depends on 21 and 21 blocks 40. In my situation this is not the case. I simply wish to clone a bug that affects two different versions of our software so that the issue will be fixed in both versions. Due to our processes, I need to track defects separately for each version. Cloning is useful since it does connect the two bugs and saves having to repeat information, but neither one necessarily blocks or depends on the other. It would be useful to have an admin option that turns the default behavior off. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clone a bug, any bug. 2. See new one depends on old one. 3. See old one blocks new one.

This appears to be as designed, according to bug 81642 comment 58, bug 81642 comment 64, etc. Bug 81642 comment 70 and 71 is basically a duplicate of this bug. Anyway, our installation mostly uses cloning in the same way as described in comment 0, so it would be nice to have a flag that could toggle this behaviour. In the mean time, I'll probably apply some variant of the patch given in bug 81642 comment 70.

This might get fixed as part of bug 537749. Hopefully the way I want it, as described in bug 537749 comment 16 ;)

This seems like a valid request. Confirming.
