Description Iveta Wiedermann 2011-11-21 07:52:42 UTC
Description of problem:
When cloning some test plan in TCMS in most cases we want to only link testcases to the new test plan, not to copy it, but there is checked option "Create a copy (Unchecking will create a link to selected plans)" in Copy settings by default. It would be better to have this option not checked by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to some test plan
2. Click on "Clone plan"
3. See option "Create copy" in Copy settings
  
Actual results:
Checked "Create a copy (Unchecking will create a link to selected plans)"

Expected results:
Unchecked "Create a copy (Unchecking will create a link to selected plans)"

Additional info:

Completely agreed. This dangerous default value already caused
many duplicates of test cases to be created which makes their
maintenance very hard for us.

I think this bug is easy to fix in the next version tcms 3.6.3.
Thanks.

Verify version:
3.6.3 on englab --> PASSED

Verify steps:
1. Go to some test plan
2. Click on "Clone plan"
3. See option "Create copy" in Copy settings

Actual results:
default is: Unchecked "Create a copy (Unchecking will create a link to selected plans)"

Thanks for your advice, now "Create a copy" checkbox is unchecked.

Comment 6 Petr Šplíchal 2012-01-11 15:41:45 UTC
Will that change appear on the stage later? For now I still see
the check box selected.

Comment 8 Petr Šplíchal 2012-01-12 09:12:49 UTC
Looks fine now, thanks for the fix!
