Rules for links - duplicate

[Martin Bayreuther]

Hello all,

I have a few questions about issue linking.

1. The first is about duplicates. When I resolve an issue as duplicate, which validator do I have to use to enforce that a duplicate link really exists? Is any special plug-in needed?
2. The second is now moved to a separate topic

Any help is highly welcome

This is solved in the meantime by using a groovy script validator.

Depending on public interest I can post the code here. So just drop in a comment if you need that stuff.

I would love to see an example solution for Question 1.

I might suggest you create two separate questions on the site and remove this one. This way there can be two clear "answers" and folks can find the correct resolution quicker and easier if they have the same question(s) as you since what you accept as the correct answer is listed just below your question when you accept the answer.

Best,

Jim
