how to add dependencies on jira issues

Alex Saavedra

i want to create\enable dependencies so one issue cant be started if there is another issue unfinished behind it

if its imposible to create\enable that option on jira, is there a plugin on cloud that might help me with this problem?

sorry for my english, 

Thank you

Hi Alex,

Your English is fine

Jira has an "Issue Links" field that will allow you to link an issue with another to create the connection and set the type of link to "Blocks" or "Is Blocked by." "Has to be done before" or other dependency types. 

This is standard functionality, if you do not have access to this field your Jira admin will need to add it to the field and screen schemes.

Hope this helps,
