Automatically Link BUGs when created to the STORY the TEST is associated with

Question

I link TESTs to STORYs

I execute those TESTs through TEST EXECUTIONS

When a TEST fails I create a BUG through the TEST EXECUTION

I would like the BUG to be LINKED to the STORY

I thought this happened automatically but it's not happening.

The BUG will be linked to the TEST EXECUTION but I want to look at the STORY and know what BUGs are linked to it.

(and of course i don't want to do this manually, it should happen automatically)

Bug is NOT linked to the TEST.

The test is just an instance of validation.

Bug is linked to the TEST EXECUTION... i.e. the BUG was found for this instance or TEST RUN'

ug is linked to the TEST EXECUTION.

TEST EXECUTION is linked to TEST PLAN.

Since the EXECUTION happened within the TEST PLAN I would think the BUG would be assocaited to the TEST PLAN.

i.e. What BUGs were created during the execution of this TEST PLAN.

So if a TEST PLAN is a release, for example, you would want to know if all BUGs found during that TEST PLAN time frame have been fixed or not.
