Mark a goal as blocked by another
Link goals with Blocked by and Blocking, so a goal shows when the work it depends on slips.
A blocker link shows that one goal depends on another. The indicator warns you when the blocking goal slips.
Who can do this: anyone who can edit the goal. By default that is its owners, and Org Admins and Owners. Team Admins can too when their team, or a subteam, owns the goal or has one of its owners. See Roles and permissions.
