Description of the problem: I've just found a bug that impacts the way that I create test cases in TCMS. I'll start out with a basic case, almost a template, then clone it off within the same test plan, and make revision for each variation. I do this with the "Select Plan Use the same Plan " radio button. Below, the "Create a Copy (Unchecking will create a link to selected case)" option allowed me to create additional copies to edit each time I cloned. NOW ... selecting the "Use the same plan" radio button locks out the "Create a copy" option so that ... you can't. :( You CAN achieve this with a bad usability workaround, "Filter another plan," search for the current test plan, search, check the box for the (same) test plan found through search, and "Create a copy" can be selected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. log into TCMS. 2. Create a new test plan, e.g. "testplan1." 3. Create a new test case, e.g. "testcase1." 4. Save the test case. 5. In the plan document view, click the test case. 6. Click the "Clone" button. 7. On the clone test case page, select radio button "Use the same Plan." 8. Try to click the "Create a copy" check box below. Actual results: Cannot select create a copy. This prevents user from cloning cases to the same plan. Expected results: As with earlier versions, user can create a copy of the test case within the same test plan, and edit it to include variations. Additional info: Previously used functionality has been broken. I'm currently facing test planning that requires me to create more than 50 cases in rapid order. The 'Clone case - User current plan - Create copy' method was the quickest way to do this, particularly when many fields are duplicated. This bug creates necessity for extra work just to find the current plan and create a new test case (copy, not link).

Hi, you still could create the copy for this case. But when select the same plan , TCMS disable the 'create a link ', but only create a copy. 'Copy' means another case but with same content of this case. 'Link' means same case, so couldn't be added to same plan.
I think you need to follow my instructions. You are locking out the ability to make a copy in the same test plan. "(Unchecking will create a link to selected case)" I DON'T WANT to make a link in the same test plan, I want to "Xerox" the case and then edit the result w/new content (setup, expected results, &c). In this way many test cases with very similar steps/setup/breakdown and one change can be made from a single "master" case. This is a regression of a useful function. Unless someone specifically requested the preventative step, please restore the previous functionality.
most user clone a case and modify it as a new case, so copy a case in one test plan should be supported. will be fixed in tcms 3.8.0.
Created attachment 595311 [details] screenshot of current functionality in 3.7.0 This appears to have been fixed in 3.7.0. Select "in same test plan" leaves "Create a copy" checkbox deselected, but I can manually select it. steps 1. click "clone case." 2. check "create a copy. 3. click "use the same plan" radio button. => "Create a copy" checkbox is deselected. 4. Re-select "create a copy" checkbox. => "Create a copy" checkbox is selected. 5. Click clone. => A unique copy is created. Please reconfirm in your dev environment, if the functionality is intact, this bug report can be closed with my thanks. ,:)
Confirmed on dev environment,this bug has been fixed. So close it.
