Effectively... the comments, correspondence, release notes (perhaps other attributes) are maintained in the Parent case but are seen identically and editable in all Cases of the family.</p> <p>Use Cases:</p> <ul> <li><p>users estimate their time and book time against individual cases, but any comments or correspondence added to those cases are grouped together</p></li> <li><p>regardless of projects or milestones set in the sub cases, the customer facing release notes belong to the Parent case, its project and Milestone.</p></li> <li><p>anyone interested in the full history of all the cases in the family can view easily in the Case they are primarily interested in</p></li> <li><p>the feature is optional... the configuration goes with all the Cases in the "Family" or none of them</p></li> </ul> <p>Value Added:</p> <ul> <li>the benefits of improving time estimates by creating sub-cases for every role no longer need to be weighed against the disadvantage of multiple cases containing important, related content</li> </ul> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/690/feature-request-commonality-for-some-case-sub-case-contents/1367#1367 Answer by Jessica for Feature Request: commonality for some Case/Sub-case contents Jessica 2010-01-08T17:30:59Z 2010-01-08T17:30:59Z <p>It would be nice if sub-case inherited the Tags and Category of the parent case.</p> <p>or if there was an option to chose settings (by user and/or by project) what fields a sub-case should inherit from its parent case (this would be useful especially for custom columns)</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/690/feature-request-commonality-for-some-case-sub-case-contents/1381#1381 Answer by Dan Wilson for Feature Request: commonality for some Case/Sub-case contents Dan Wilson 2010-01-09T02:36:43Z 2010-01-11T16:08:49Z <p>You can easily use the "group edit" functionality to tag or categorize a hierarchy or sub-hierarchy of cases. Forcing attributes of the parent case upon child cases seems a bit too assertive for FogBugz's flexible style of handling case data.</p>
