Opening up another ticket within a ticket

[Nick]

Is there a way to open another ticket within a ticket? 

I have a incident ticket that is open and I want to have the ability to add a button that will open another ticket. 

Is that possible?

Have you looked at the inbuilt function "clone and link"? This sounds like it would do what you want. This was a recent release so check the version you are on against 7.1.0 released to cloud on 7 February.

No, actually I want the functionality to actually open another ticket.  So, If I'm working in an incident ticket.  I want to be able to open a issue ticket on the back of the incident ticket. Is this possible? 

Thanks

That would work, but I'm using JIRA 6.4.
