Merging issues
You can merge issues to combine duplicate reports. When issues are merged, all information is retained in multiple reports in the original issue with the lowest number. For example, if you merge issues 4, 5, and 6, issues 5 and 6 are added as additional reports in issue 4. Each report includes the original issue information.
Workflow event information from the selected issues is also merged. The resulting issue will have the assignment and status of the original issue with the lowest number.
Note: To maintain separate, unique issues, link related issues instead of merging them. See Working with related items.
