Ken Morse 2010-06-20T01:50:59Z 2010-06-20T01:50:59Z <p>Perhaps you could use Milestone dependencies and make your sprint milestone a dependency of the software milestone -- then just assign the cases to the appropriate sprint milestone.</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/3386/assign-case-to-multiple-releases-milestones/3414#3414 Answer by Andreas for Assign case to multiple releases/milestones? Andreas 2010-06-21T07:08:42Z 2010-06-21T07:08:42Z <p>May be the usage of filter is a solution. 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> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/3386/assign-case-to-multiple-releases-milestones/9347#9347 Answer by Abhishek Bhargava for Assign case to multiple releases/milestones? Abhishek Bhargava 2011-10-05T16:03:37Z 2011-10-05T16:03:37Z <p>I agree that we should be able to assign multiple milestones to a case. 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> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/3386/assign-case-to-multiple-releases-milestones/9376#9376 Answer by Abhishek Bhargava for Assign case to multiple releases/milestones?

Andrey Pirozhenko 2012-10-24T18:14:18Z 2012-10-24T18:14:18Z <p>We are having the same problem. 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>
