In Azure DevOps web portal, work item itemA depends on work item itemB. From the Backlogs view, how do you add the proper dependency link so itemA depends on itemB?

The correct method is to use the "Successor" link type. When itemA depends on itemB, it means itemA is a successor to itemB. Therefore, you would establish the link from itemA, indicating that it succeeds itemB. The steps are: open the context menu for itemA in Backlogs, select "Add link," choose "Successor" as the link type, and then enter the ID of itemB. "Parent" is incorrect as it defines a hierarchical relationship, not a dependency between peer work items. "References" is a generic link type that doesn't explicitly define a dependency relationship in the same way "Successor" or "Predecessor" does. Adding a link from itemA and setting it as "References" to itemB would not convey the specific dependency.
