check dependent item state before advancing workflow

We would like to be able to verify that all dependent links are in a closed state before we move a work item to in progress.  is this a recondition that is available out of the box or do we need to create a plug-in to accomplish this?  We are currently using RTC 3.0.1.2

You will need to create your own custom process pre-condition for this.
There is an RFE for this: Link type depends on: add Operation Behavior to block save's of WI if child is not close # (182769)
And the good news is that Sam attached some sample code for implementing this pre-condition (thanks, Sam!)

Hi Geoff!  Is there an update to this link?

I would like to set up a dependency where a I have a parent work item (maybe a Story) and it has the following child work items: devTask, buildTask, qaTask, etc..  I want to be able to make sure that the buildTask can not start until the devTask is completed...for example.

FYI, I am running RTC 4.0.1

you will have to write your own advisor handler to do that check
