RCS - Ability to flag suggestion as duplicate

Would it be possible to add a field that we can paste a link to a post representing an earlier duplicate of the same suggestion?

Perhaps some verification should be included here also.

Once verified, votes on the newer suggestion can be added to the older suggestion. This allows long-running suggestions to receive appropriate community support - especially if the feature is much requested!

This idea was marked as a duplicate of Ability to merge requests on this website.

Little update to this. We now have a "Duplicate" status for posts. There's no flagging mechanism yet, so you'd still need to ping me directly (either on BA or social media) to update the status of any post to have this, but it's a start!

It's a planned feature. Technically this should already be partially possible with the Status field. Just need to figure out how to add "Duplicate" in there and allow for a link to the other post.
