Description of problem: When cloning test plan, bugs associated with test cases get lost. We are currently cloning test plans for every new product minor release and I think that having bugs associated with test cases is vital information in regards to regression testing and should be retained through all test plans for our product minor releases. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Nitrate 3.6.0

The bug information about test case could be reserved in cloned test run. recommended solution in TCMS is : use test plan for organize test cases of different products or different versions of product. use test run to execute test case in different release/build. Hope this can help.

That was just an example of use case. Simply put, I don't want to loose the bug associated with test case when I clone it. TCMS should be flexible to suite our workflow, not the other way around.
