Keep multiple features in sync

For mobile feature development its very common to have the same feature implemented multiple times on different platforms. Its quite difficult to managed this currently in Aha

I'm having to copy the original feature and then replace the description with the link back to the original feature so that I can update the road-map but not lose an updates that may happen to the original feature.

(Happy to be told there is a better way to do this.)

    Thank you for your idea. There are a couple different options that may be easier than how you are handling this today.

    1. Use a single feature and add a custom field to label it with each platform that is addressed. This option would only work if you release every platform at the same time.

    2. Using a master feature would provide more flexibility here.You could create a master feature that represents the original feature and then create a feature to represent each platform on your roadmap.

    Given the options above and current priorities, we are unlikely to implement this idea at this time. We hope you can understand.

    Thank you for your response. I am actually using both options 1 and 2 in your response. Ultimate the problem that occurs is that the features get implemented at different times on the various platforms and the details evolve. 

    As such, the content in the last platform to be developed is no longer correct. So I have to manually go through all the previous history and extract updates to the feature that was implemented to make sure the last scheduled platform is updated with the details of the first implemented one.

    In any case, I will solve this via business process if this isn't a priority. (I expect its only an issue for mobile app products)
