While multiple ideas are generated by users, we have noticed some ideas are an extention, addon ideas of a parent or related idea, but both needs to be tracked seperately rather merged. In such situation, for better organization of ideas, Admin/Moderator of the idea board can make ideas into something like a parent-child relationship.. and the frontend display can be also done in that way.. where a small + sign can expand all the child ideas..
