The Sequence of work item

Dear Friends,

Please help me, how to create 1 work item only can be started if its predecessor has been closed?

example : Task B is the predecessor of Task A. The task A only can be started if the task B has been closed.

How to do that?

I have used the predecessor but it still can be started, only show the warning that Task B is started before the predecessor work item is complete.


please help
thank you

You would need to write your own "work item save" process adviser to
detect and prevent this. As you correctly observed, the built-in
functionality only generates a warning, but does not prevent saving the
work item with this invalid state. There was a work item requesting
that this be an error, rather than a warning, but I'm working
disconnected at the moment, so cannot look up the workitem number.

Cheers,
Geoff

An example can be found at:

Anyone else have another (or better) example/tutorial for this?
