Hi, Praveen

If you try to add parent or children from the work item link, it will go to a search dialog for any existing work item(s) so that you can find them and as parent or children from there, there is no option to create a work item from any work item's link section.

If you go to a plan view, in the front of any work item there, you should be able to see a menu to 'create a child work item'.

I hope this helps.
