Sorry to start the new thread early Peter.. It is not a high priority at 
the point but I am happy to discuss while it is fresh in my mind.

In my case, I am not so much concerned with how it looks as much as how 
it would be supported by the model. Depending on the way things 
currently work, we might want to use a fresh field rather than subvert 
the use of the current version field.

I would not be restricting this to bugs, by the way. Tasks and 
enhancements are equally valid in this discussion where a project is 
maintaining multiple versions of a product.

Perhaps off topic again but.. Given this ability to be a part of 
multiple versions, would it be appropriate to offer the possibility of 
generating tickets for the individual versions, perhaps with the new 
tickets as sub tickets of the original?

Cheers,
