Merging issues in Redmine

An interesting feature in Redmine was the possibility to merge two or more issues into one new issue. This feature was asked to development team but still isn't available. Someone can help me with a workaround to implement this functionality?

up until now my workaround is:

For example you have yyy and zzz issue, yyy is the one that will be merged with zzz.

  1. Changes the yyy status to "rejected".
  2. Put "merge issue with #zzz" in yyy comment field (redmine will automatically convert #zzz into link).
  3. set the parent task for yyy as zzz, now when you open zzz you will see yyy as its subtask.

It serves my needs just fine as the two issue would still be linked (albeit manually).
