Bug Description
Reference http://
For duplicates, the status of a report should be the status of its parent.
Rationale:
- When a bug is duplicated, all the activity is tracked on the parent, and if the parent is closed, then duplicates are considered closed too.
- It is not possible to change the status of a duplicate on LP without deduplicating the report first.
For example
1220297 bad time format in date/time indicator Undecided New [...] 1230262
Should be:
1220297 Time says "12 AM", "1 AM" on the hour. Medium Fix Released Alan Pope [...] 1230262
And in this specific case, it should not be listed because it is fixed.
If the parent has several tasks, then show as many lines in the report as there are tasks on the parent bug report.
I think this was done intentionally, but I can't recall for sure now. I'm going to change it, and if it becomes a problem, we can discuss reverting it.
