For a "marked as duplicate" timeline event to appear, the user who creates the duplicate reference comment must have write access to the repository where they create the comment.

Marking duplicates

To mark an issue or pull request as a duplicate, type "Duplicate of" followed by an issue or pull request number in the body of a new comment.

You can also use the {% data variables.product.company_short %}-provided saved replies, "Duplicate issue" or "Duplicate pull request." For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Unmarking duplicates

You can unmark duplicate issues and pull requests by clicking Undo in the timeline. This will add a new timeline event, indicating that the issue or pull request was unmarked.
