How do I display dependencies 1 to 1 and 1 to many in Jira Align ?

[Nicolae Victor Rusu]

Is there a way to display a dependency chain relationship by leveraging Dependency issue type in Jira Align ?

Context:

• Lab A has 3 Feature Teams (a,b,c) that are set to deliver an Epic
• They break down the Epic into more granular pieces (Features) and as part of this they identify they cannot deliver this Epic e2e independently and they'll require support from Lab B -team b.
• At this stage they'd raise a dependency ("Lab A - team a" being the "requesting" lab) and Lab B - team b being the donor
• Lab B - team b decides to "commit" to this dependency issue type and post a typical "understand" and plan phase they decide it's Feature in size and complexity 

Question

1. How do I link back the Feature delivered by Lab B - team b to the original dependency requested by "Lab A - team a" so that it shoes that relationship where it originated from ?
2. If then Lab B - team b identifies that in order to deliver that Feature for Lab A - team A they also need some security guardrails (made-up example) from Lab C - team C so they'd have another dependency chain, how can that be raised in Jira Align and visualised ?

Many thanks in advance for your guidance

Can you confirm I understand the Team Structure?

Lab A Team of Teams / Program

• Team Aa
• Team Ab
• Team Ac

Lab B Team of Teams / Program

• Team Ba
• Team Bb
• Team Bc

Lab C Team of Teams / Program

• Team Ca
• Team Cb
• Team Cc

Is the dependency being raised against the Epic or a child Feature?
