How to Create Dependencies (i.e. Blocked by/Blocking)

Dependencies allow you to establish relationships between tasks, ensuring that certain tasks cannot be marked as resolved until their dependent tasks are completed.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create dependencies:
Open the task to which you want to add a dependent task.
Next to the Blocked by section, click on the plus sign, as shown below. You can then search for the dependent task or choose it from the available lists/categories.



Once a dependent task is added, it will show under the "Blocked by" section. The color of the ID number next to the task indicates the status.



If this request is a dependency for another request, it will be specified under the "Blocking" section.

Notifications for Completed Dependent Tasks

When all dependent tasks are resolved, both the assignee and followers of the task will receive an email notification similar to the one below:

All dependencies of #29 Product Descriptions have been finished. Now it is available for completion.

Additionally, the ID number of the dependent tasks will be displayed in green, indicating that they are complete, and you will be able to modify the task status.
