Ability to inherit parent component

[liltor@…]

I would like to see the possibility to inherit the component of the parent for child tickets much like you can with milestone (i.e. parent.<ticket_type>.inherit_component = true).

It would be even better if the inherit was made dynamic and work for any field default or custom but, that's not necessary (i.e. parent.<ticket_type>.inherit_[ticket_field] = true/false).

Hi

Your 'feature request' has been addressed in #8479. Pete ('plt') has provided a superb patch which adds just the functionality you're looking for.

As a part of these changes I've removed the 'inherit_milestone' option and the new option is simply:

parent.<type>.inherit = field_one, field_two, field_n

I'll have the changes committed soon and will make available as release 1.1.0

Regards Mark

This is great news, I'll be updating first thing on monday. The extra functionality to restrict child types sounds really good too!
Many thanks for adding this and a special thanks to Pete ('plt') for providing the original patch.
