Related issues are a bi-directional relationship between any two issues
and appear in a block below the issue description. Issues can be across groups
and projects.
+You can set any issue as:
+
+- Related to another issue
+- Blocking another issue **(STARTER)**
+- Blocked by another issue **(STARTER)**
+
The relationship only shows up in the UI if the user can see both issues.
When you try to close an issue that has open blockers, a warning is displayed.
TIP: **Tip:**
-To manage related issues through our API, see the [API documentation](../../../api/issue_links.md).
