Jürgen Brückler (69●2●22) | asked Oct 04 '18, 9:30 a.m. In a flat plan view we have 3 work items (A, B, C) in a plan ranked 1, 2, 3. The first two work items have a "related"-link to other work items (that are filed against another team and therefore are not part of this plan): A>D, B>E When I switch to a tree view (by showing the link type "Related") the rank (for A, B, C) is shown as 1, 2, 1. When I click into the rank field, the rank (for A, B C) is displayed as -1, -1, 1. I guess this behavior comes from the circumstance, that "Related" is an undirected link (Workitem A is related to Workitem D is related to Workitem A). When changing the rank in this tree view: 1. I cannot set any workitem to rank 3 (error: "The number entered creates a gap in planning. Proceed with assigning the next available rank (1) to the plan item?"). 2. When I change the rank using drag & drop, after saving the plan one workitem is shown like this: D>A>D. The other workitem is shown B>E, but with an info icon that there is a circular dependency, involving workitems B, E, B. After refreshing the plan view, it is shown as A>D, B>E with no more info/warning icons. Has anyone ever tried using a tree view for ranks by using the "Related" link type? Do you have any hints for me? Thanks! Juergen
