Reviews Depending on Other Reviews
I tried searching through the history to see if this has been asked already, but I couldn't find anything. Is there a way to set a review as dependent on another review?
Forum Discussion
Let's say there are 3 reviews posted at the same time for 3 different repositories. Review A is for a base library and Reviews B and C are for plugins that build off that base library. In Review A we add a new function, and in Reviews B and C we use that function. Without looking at Review A first, anyone who reviews B or C first will not know about that function.
So we'd like some way to denote that anyone reviewing Reviews B and C should look at Review A first. It doesn't have to be a physical dependence with blocking capabilities, but at least a marker somewhere that says "Dependent on Review #1234 (A)"
Hi ccthompson,
You can create a custom field to list reviews that should be checked by participants. For example, you can create a Review custom field with the string (singe-line) type and list the review A there. You can also make it mandatory for any of the review phases:

Otherwise, you can create a checklist for each review, but it isn't as flexible as custom fields:

If the item that should be reviewed is out of Collaborator (e.g., a bug-tracking system), you can also make references to it:

Hope this information helps!
