Dependencies on Roadmap (Beta)

Question

Hi,

Currently when linking two epics together using the new Roadmap (Beta) in classic the link is always created with Block & is Block by.

Due to another integration we have with Aha! we need to use dependency link "Depends on" & "Is a dependency of"

I have tried following these instructions but even after removing block and adding is dependent it is still showing blocked on the Roadmap (Beta): https://confluence.atlassian.com/advancedroadmapsserver/configuring-issue-dependencies-802170496.html

Are the above settings simple for Advanced Roadmaps and not roadmap Beta? If so can I change for Roadmap Beta ?

If so has anyone else run into the same issue and found a solution?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have been investigating Roadmaps and it seems they behave very differently between Project Roadmaps (Next-gen and Classic[Beta]) and Advanced Roadmaps. To get Advanced Roadmaps you need to upgrade to Jira Software Premium as you probably know, and as you both noted AR is an add-on, so I guess it makes sense that they work differently.

I came across the issue @Andrew.Mulford and as far as I can tell you can only specify which issue link types control dependencies in Advanced Roadmaps. If you have premium and can see the 'Plans' tab then when you go to Settings (cog top right) > Apps you'll see Advanced Roadmaps Options with one for Dependencies.

There you can select the issue link types that will be treated as dependencies in plans.

So I think the answer to your question is - only in Advanced Roadmaps. Sorry if that's a pain, there's a 56 day free trial of Premium if that's any help, I'm trying it out now and I do like AR so far.

Hi @Andrew.Mulford It looks like "Blocks" and "Is blocked by" are the only two options that can be used on the Epic roadmap as mentioned in this documentation below:
