How to restrict parent child links between work items in EWM?
Hello,
I am working on ELM 7.0.3 in EWM where I have 4 different work item types,
WI1>WI2>WI3>WI4.
Each being parent of the next one. Meaning, WI1 should not be a direct parent of WI4, WI3 should not be parent of WI1, and so on.
Is it possible to restrict these Parent>Child links to prevent users from linking in the wrong hierarchy?
Thank you in advance!
One answer
As far as I know, there is no built in capability for this.
As far as I know, it would be possible to create a custom advisor/pre-condition for this for parent/child relationships.
There is a limitation that OSLC links e.g. tracks/contributes-to do not trigger the advisor extension point, that I experienced trying to implement a follow up action based on links between work items.
