Several relationship types between the same item types

Hi,

Is it not possible to define that two item types can have several relationship types (in the same project)? In other words, we consider in some cases that two items could be related in different ways, with a different meaning.  

For example, that would appear like this in the Rule Set:

Rule 1: Requirement - User Story - covered by

Rule 2: Requirement - User Story - related to

But if I try to do so, the message is that "Upstream/Downstream item type selection already exists."

Thank you!

    Hi Sylvain, 

    Thanks for reaching out! There isn't currently a way for two items in a single project to be related to each other in several ways. 

    That said, I'm not seeing any Idea cards submitted already for this specifically, so I'd recommend submitting one describing the usage case(s) where having this enhancement would be helpful through our Ideation moduleThis is a space where users can highlight their feedback to our Product Team for review and consideration against other Product Roadmap items (and enabling a way for other users to weigh in on and add their response(s) to submitted cards).
