Maybe this is just wishful thinking. I am evaluating JIRA, and one of the things people want here is one issue with multiple fix versions, each with their own status/resolution, so you can close an issue in one version, but leave it open in another. Currently in Telelogic Change, we just have two seperate changes.
I can already tell this probably wouldn't work in JIRA, but are their clever ways some of you handle this? From what I see so far you could use linkage, subtasks, I saw a plugin that supported parent child relationships, but am just exploring right now, trying to think of how to make this relationship of issues easier for users.
