ℹ️ To read more about Predecessor and Successor/Work Item Links Access Create work item links
In Jira Align, you can use the ‘Links’ functionality to sequence work items. It is used to create a link from one theme, epic, capability, feature, or story to another one to define that the work item can't be started before the other one is finished.
After enabling the functionality of the Predecessor and Successor and the toggle described in the help article, the user has its view and access denied to the work item details
