How do I specify dependancies (and import to Project)

Team System has a notion of "Links" to other bugs. However, there is nothing that tells what type of link it is (that I have yet to figure out anyway). How do I specify that a bug depends on another bug?

More importantly, I want that information to be passed up to Microsoft Project when I import bugs into project. I can create dependancies in MS Project but when I save to Team System those dependancies are lost (in the sense that they are not viewable in Team System).

I've started looking at the project mappings file but I see no obvious way to add support for dependancy info to be exported to Project.

Am I missing something? Is there some way to do this that I'm missing?

Hmmm.... no reply yet. Is anyone using MS Project to manage bugs in VSTS?

hi Ray,

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately storing dependencies is not a feature in V1, but we are seriously thinking about that feature for next version.
