"close as duplicate" workflow should allow me to close the task I'm looking at as a dupe of another
Closed, DuplicatePublic
Actions

Description

A somewhat common workflow for me:

  • I get an email about a new bug (A)
  • I click through and while reading the description in Maniphest, I realize it's the same as an existing bug (B). B probably has a lot more context / discussion alread, so I want to keep B, not A.

At this point, what I want to do is, search for the existing bug and mark the current task as a dupe of the existing bug - while on A's page, search for B and close A as a dupe of B.

But the currently supported workflow is:

  • open a new tab
  • find B via some search
  • from B's page, go to merge duplicates. Probably switch tabs to find out what A's task number was, and switch back, find it via search and then merge the dupes.
