In the same way, in JIRA issue is linked with any other issue in cases like :
* Relate to another issue
* Duplicate to another issue
* Block another issue.
For displaying the details of the Linked issues, there are two fields available in JIRA : ‘
Linked issues’ and ‘

Linked issue section contains the dropdown for the options to be selected as the reason for linking the issue. As per the selected option, the suggestion of the issues to be linked in displayed in ‘Issue’ dropdown.
