Assign case to multiple releases/milestones? - FogBugz Knowledge Exchange most recent 30 from http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com2013-05-18T09:18:10Zhttp://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/feeds/question/3386http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdfhttp://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/3386/assign-case-to-multiple-releases-milestonesAssign case to multiple releases/milestones?stmax2010-06-16T21:41:59Z2012-11-30T11:12:38Z
<p>we use scrum with monthly sprints and we produce a software release every few sprints. we'd like to assign a case to multiple milestones - one for the software release and one for the sprint. for example a case should be done for release "MyProduct-v2.7" AND for "Sprint #28, July 2010".</p>
<p>we have tried to use tags and custom fields but neither worked very well (for several reasons - like no reports, typos, no pre-defined fields,....).</p>
<p>what could we do to get reports, filtering, easy entering of releases/milestones,.. for our software releases and sprints?</p>
<p>right now we either move cases around between milestones or we duplicate them and assign one to the release and one to the sprint and link them together. a whole lot of work that everyone hates. :(</p>
<p>thanks</p>

If you add all your sprints of one release to the search field, you should see, all cases that belongs to one release.
For example your release consists of three sprints:
milestone:"Sprint #28, July 2010" milestone:"Sprint #29, August 2010" milestone:"Sprint #30, September 2010"</p>

We release different versions of our software to different clients. Often when a bug is fixed, we need to fix it in multiple software versions and therefore need to assign multiple milestones to a case, one corresponding to each software version in which bug was fixed. By assigning multiple milestones to a case we can generate Release Notes corresponding to each software version cleanly.
While duplicating a case to assign different milestones is an option, it creates a huge overhead by increasing case volume, managing/resolving/closing multiple cases, assigning parent cases etc. </p>

Bugs and features need to be done and verified in several versions. I understand that having multiple milestones for a single case, and options to have this case in different states (open, resolved, closed) for different milestones will make UI confusing. </p>
<p>What if FogBugz simply automates case duplication? So the use case would be:
- enter the case and assign a milestone
- assign additional milestone to the case, which duplicates this case and makes it a subcase of the first.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
