You manage projects by using Azure Boards. You have a current work item name itemA that is dependant on a work item named itemB. You need to define the dependency for itemA. What should you do in the

While links can be added from Backlogs, directly linking from the work item itself (itemA) provides a more precise and intuitive way to establish its specific dependency on another work item.

When itemA is dependent on itemB, it means itemB must be completed before itemA. In Azure Boards, this chronological dependency is established by using 'Predecessor/Successor' link types. By opening itemA, going to its Links tab, and adding itemB with a 'Successor' link type, you indicate that itemA is the successor to itemB, thus defining the necessary dependency.

Creating links from queries is primarily for adding links to query results or defining query-based links, not for directly establishing a dependency between two specific work items in the most straightforward manner.

The 'References' link type is a general association and does not explicitly convey a chronological dependency or 'depends on' relationship, which requires 'Predecessor/Successor' link types for proper dependency tracking.
