RT maintains relationships between tickets and other objects. Relationships in RT can be between multiple tickets on the same RT instance but also can link tickets to external items like URLs, FedEx shipping numbers, or even other bug tracking systems like Bugzilla. RT defines a few basic types of relationships:
By defining relationships between tickets, it is possible to clearly define a hierarchy of work that needs to be done in order for a ticket to be resolved. This can be helpful in figuring out dependencies; for example, if new feature X can't be added until bug Y is fixed, then the ticket for feature X depends on the ticket for bug Y and can't be resolved until the bug is fixed. |
