add ability to split story into mulitple new stories
Many times a story in the tracker ends up being comprised of multiple tasks/features/etc
It would be great to have a 'split this story' button that allows me to turn 1 story into 2 ( and repeat! ), with each new story referencing what it was split from.
I'm not quite sure what the ideal ux would be.

Inappropriate?Hey Jonathan...thanks for the suggestion. We're thinking of how to do this in a simple, usable way, but it would certainly be a useful feature.

Inappropriate?I think one way to target the UX would be to have an icon that looks like a pair of scissors to allow you to cut the story. This could produce an identical copy of the current item with a slightly different background/ look or icon FOR BOTH that indicates that the story is an identical copy of another one. The title could be set as "Part 2" for the created copy (similar to the way that files are auto-renamed). After that, it should be possible to basically edit any of the attributes of any of the two new stories to create the cut story.
Essentially, it's a 'duplicate' and 'edit' functionality. I often use this method to refactor presentation slides - make a copy of the current slide and remove the bottom half from the first slide, move to the second slide and remove the upper half!
Finally, it would be fantastic if the system automatically added a comment that said: "This story was split out of the original story that had the following information:
...
...
(original story)"
This serves as a light-weight reference.
[I just noticed that this thread was last answered 1 year ago! Hopefully, my comment is not too late!]
I’m excited!

Inappropriate?We like to keep our feature stories small (1-3 days of work). Often a story gets added with no value assigned just as a place holder. Because it is larger than 1-3 days of work when we assign a value to the story we go back and split it into smaller chunks. Splitting would speed things up a bit by requiring less duplicate info from needing to be entered.
