Description of problem: When changes are being back ported via Gerrit Web UI to corresponding release branches, 'Topic' field of the newly created change is being appended by the name of the branch to which it is being cherry-picked. Version of Gerrit: v2.12.2 on https://review.gluster.org How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a particular change on master branch via https://review.gluster.org 2. Click on `Cherry-Pick` button 3. Specify a release branch to which the change is to be cherry-picked 4. Click on `Cherry-pick Change` Actual results: Newly created change has 'Topic' set in the format: bug-<#bug-id>-<release-branch-name> Expected results: Newly created change must have the 'Topic' field set in the format: bug-<#bug-id>
I've gone looking for this. Turns out, this is an intentional change in Gerrit UI. See: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/66440/ Marking as WONTFIX.
