If you want to link different item types, such as issues and test cases, select one item in a list. You can select the other item type when you create the link.

The Add Link dialog box opens.

2. Select a link Definition to specify the type of relationship between the items. A description of the selected definition is displayed.

4. If you are adding a parent/child link, click Set as parent next to the item to make the parent.

5. Click Add additional items to add additional items to the link. See Adding items to existing links.

6. Select an item and click Remove to remove it from the link or Remove All to remove all items.

If you remove a parent item, the next item in the list becomes the parent.
