retarget open tickets to other milestone of choice - Webadmin

[jl]

This would be the same functionality as #2743 for the main trac (r3372 & r3732). I prefer to work with the webadmin and I would like to see this feature also in the webadmin.

Closing a milestone manually should retarget open tickets to other milestone of choice. This should be very similar to deleting a milestone.

This ticket is confusing. #2743 does exactly what this ticket wants except it does it in the Roadmap when you are closing a milestone.

Currently, there are no features to manipulate the roadmap or milestones using WebAdmin. Is that the feature requested in this ticket? Could this be accomplished using batch ticket modification instead (see #525)?

Actually, the current WebAdmin plugin (and the integrated admin in trunk) does support milestone management. And indeed, the issue raised here is the only feature missing.

The reason it's not been implemented yet is that WebAdmin generally allows deleting multiple items at once, and I'm not sure how to integrate that with retargetting tickets at deletion time. But once this does get added, the traditional milestone management via the roadmap will probably be removed completely (because it'd be redundant.

i am not sure if traditional milestone management is not more intuitive. you also do not manage wiki pages via web-admin, or attachment deletions.
