Relationships

Relationships are typed, directed links between work items and entries. They make dependencies, blockers, answers, and supporting evidence visible beyond a single entry.

Types

TypeMeaning
BLOCKED_BYAn item is stopped by another item.
DEPENDS_ONAn item relies on another item.
RELATED_TOTwo records share a topic.
ANSWERS / ACCEPTED_ANSWERAn answer is provided or selected for a question.
SUPPORTS / CONTRADICTSRecords support or conflict with a conclusion.
RESOLVES / SUPERSEDESA record closes or replaces another record.

from points to to. BLOCKED_BY normally points from the blocked item to the item causing the block. ACCEPTED_ANSWER connects a question to one of its answer entries, and only one is kept per question.

Both endpoints must be in the same project, and a relationship cannot point to itself. Project editors can create, update its reason, and remove it.

Ask AI can propose relationships. Review the endpoints, type, and reason before accepting a proposal.
