Did you mean? is a Redmine plugin designed to warn users before they enter duplicate issues. It was inspired by the way Stack Overflow handles the insertion of duplicate issues.

How it works

When users fill in the subject field of new issues, the plugin automatically searches among the existing ones for possible duplicates (i.e. issues having a similar title) and displays them right below the subject field.

The search is triggered right after users leave the subject field, and for now it is just a simple keyword search. Next versions of the plugin can leverage full text search. Get in touch if you want to help with that :)

Sample behaviour of the plugin

Installation

Just download the latest stable version of the plugin archive from the tags page and uncompress it in the $REDMINE_ROOT/vendor/plugins, where $REDMINE_ROOT is the root folder of your Redmine installation.

If you want to install the development version of the plugin, you can issue the following command

ruby script/plugin install https://github.com/abahgat/redmine_didyoumean.git
