Description Max Semenik 2011-02-16 18:15:13 UTC 
Can't mark bugs as duplicates easily anymore.

It says "You have to specify a comment when changing the status of a bug from NEW to RESOLVED.", however automatic comment "This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug XXX" is more than adequate in this case.
Comment 1 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-02-16 18:32:08 UTC 
No idea where this change came in. Chad did look and said the settings look right...
Comment 2 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-16 23:59:23 UTC 
Bz doesn't allow you to say whether something requires a comment or not depending on the *type* of resolution.  It only allows you to say, "when this is resolved, it requires a comment."
Comment 3 Chad H. 2011-02-17 00:59:15 UTC 
See commentonduplicate.
Comment 4 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-17 15:28:01 UTC 
I don't see that anywhere and Google isn't much help in locating it. (I'm avoiding downloading a Bz tarball.)  Can this be changed in the webUI?
Comment 5 Chad H. 2011-02-17 17:38:21 UTC 
Yes.

Comment 6 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-02-17 18:00:36 UTC 
And it's marked as off...
Comment 7 Roan Kattouw 2011-02-20 20:32:26 UTC 
This seems to happen for all status changes to RESOLVED, regardless of whether the resolution is DUPLICATE or something else. Of course the duplicate case is particularly stupid, but the workflow of 1) add "Fixed in r12345" comment 2) submit 3) realize you've forgotten to set RESOLVED FIXED 4) be forced to put in another comment is also not very nice.

Yes, this wasn't how it was before. And I'm wondering if this happened as a result of an upgrade or if someone played with the settings.

I fixed this last week.
