Quick summary
Issue relations in Linear let you define whether one task is blocking, blocked by, or related to another, giving teams clear visibility into cross-issue dependencies. Use the ellipsis menu or the issue sidebar to create and manage these relationships directly from any issue view.
Steps
- Open the issue you want to link to another issue in Linear.
- Click the ellipsis icon in the top-right corner of the open issue.
- Choose the relationship type — blocking, blocked by, or related — based on the dependency between tasks.
- Enter the title of the issue you want to link and click Create issue.
- Navigate to the sidebar of the issue and locate the Related option to view or manage all linked issue relations.
