How does "Add Depends Upon" work in the Add Links


Vivek Gupta (5195) | asked Apr 01 '09, 3:09 a.m.

Is it possible to create some sort of dependency between work items using the "Add Depends On" link in the link tabs work item or it is just a notation signifying a dependency. There is no documentation for this feature. I tried using this but I could Close the work item without closing the dependent work item which implies that it is just a notation and not really a dependency.

Kindly clarify ?

Unfortunately not much of help on the depend feature itself..., Looks like its just for reporting use only

Sorry , i looked at the second link later on. As mentioned currently it is not enforced in RTC .. so its more notational . Hope this gets addressed in near future. Thanks for the info.
