Details

STR 1 want to create a local link (within a bugzilla installation like bmo) to a bug that is neither dependent nor blocking, yet it is related 2 look for a suitable field with respective functionality Actual: We don't have such a field with good functionality. a) According to definition, we can't use "See also", which is for "bugs in other installations" - so it's NOT for adding local bugs. Besides, "see also" doesn't (yet) have all the benefits that we currently have in Depends-on and Blocks fields (simple input: just bug numbers, automatically add symmetric link on target bug, intelligent output parsing with tooltip status info etc.) b) "Related bugs" field is really a variant that should be both visually and logically related to similar fields like "depends on" and "blocks" - "see also" field is currently both conceptually and visually remote c) Requirements: Like "depends on" and "blocks", "Related bugs" field should allow for multiple symmetric relationships.
