By adding links between issues, you can group issues that have the same subject and set mutual dependencies between them.
Tracker has several link types:
- Parent issue — Sub-issue
- You can use this link type to decompose your issues. Break larger project chunks into standalone issues and sub-issues.
- For example, let's assume you need to implement a new feature in your product, which implies resolving multiple smaller issues. For such cases, you can create a New feature parent issue and link child issues to it.
- Related to
- Use this link type to reference other issues with a common topic.
- Depends on — Blocker to
- Use this link type if a certain issue can only be worked on after another issue is completed. For instance, a new app feature that can only enter development once the interface has been designed.
- Duplicated by
- Use this link type to group issues that describe the same task. For example, you should use this link if there are multiple Bug issues describing the same problem.
- Epic for — Sub-epic
- Use this link type to decompose issues if you are working with Scrum.
You can view and edit the link list on the issue page.
