New Ticket Like This
Description
The NewTicketLikeThisPlugin adds a "Clone" button to existing tickets, which lets you create a new ticket whose fields derive from the original ticket if you have the appropriate permission.
It is based on the tracopt.ticket.clone.ticketclonebutton extension that
ships with Trac core. Unlike that extension, the NewTicketLikeThisPlugin
defines and consumes a pluggable interface for implementing custom policies
to determine the way in which a new ticket is derived from the original.
This allows flexible, customized business logic to be provided based on
the needs and workflows of your team. Also, the NewTicketLikeThisPlugin
allows you to configure the permission required to clone a ticket, whereas
the core ticketclonebutton
hard-codes the TICKET_ADMIN permission.
Two policies are provided by default, in the newticketlikethis.policies
module:
SimpleTicketCloner
mimics the behavior of the
core tracopt.ticket.clone.ticketclonebutton
extension: all fields from the original ticket are cloned, and the "summary" and "description" fields are modified to denote the ticket that they were cloned from.
ExcludedFieldsTicketCloner
clones all fields from the original ticket with no modifications. It can also ignore certain fields entirely, based on a configuration setting, which will force the new ticket to be generated with the system's default values (or no values) for the fields that were excluded.
More complex policies might implement custom logic for deriving new ticket values based on the values of the existing ticket's fields, or use alternate cloning policies based on the ticket's type.

Example
To use the plugin, install it in your Trac environment and enable its

By default this will add the "Clone" button to the ticket view, and
will use the SimpleTicketCloner
component to clone your tickets.
The

permission will be required for cloning tickets.
