Cycling linking of Work Items shall not be allowed

Requirement: Cycling linking of Work Items shall not be allowed.

Example: CR1 contributes to CR2. CR1 also Tracks CR2. This shall not be allowed.

This leads to confusion in planning and may be also in some reports.

The logic to be implemented for "tracks" and "contributes to" is similar to the parent-child links, that is, a work item cannot be a parent and child to the same work item.

    The EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request. This request is being rejected because there are performance concerns for resolving cycles in remote resources. There are also concerns about detecting cyclic relationships for scenarios where only half a link is present (possible for OSLC links). We would recommend that you use other alternatives like reporting to highlight such inconsistencies.

    EWM RFE review board has evaluated this request and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release. This request aligns with our modernization plans but is unlikely to be addressed in the next 12-18 months due to other higher priority items on the Backlog.
