Re: [mantisbt-help] Issues with multiple Target Versions

[Victor B. <vb...@gm...>]

The standard we use at the moment is to have the main issue as the
parent and the ports as child issues (one child issue per target
version).  We also prefix the summary of the child issues with
"Port:".  I typically use the "Clone Issue" button to create a port
issue from the main issue.

I am thinking eventually we should have "port" as a relationship type.

I am glad you are liking 1.1.0a3.  It would be great to know what are
your favorite features :)
