You can configure which fields from an original defect are copied when a new defect is created from it.

See Properties for Fields Copied With a Defect.

  1. Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To define which fields from an original defect are copied when a new defect is created from it, follow these steps:

      The specified fields are copied from an original defect when a new defect is created from it using the Copy Defect action.
