Description

Description
Context

Work packages can currently only select blockedBy work packages from the same project.
The goals is to allow a WP to be blocked by a WP in another project as long as both projects are on the same car.

Task

Update the backend blockedBy validation so work packages from other projects are accepted when they belong to the same car.

Update the existing validateProposedChangesFields / validatedBlockedBys logic.

Acceptance Criteria
  • blockedBy can reference WPs in other projects on the same car.
  • WPs from another car are rejected.
  • Same-project blocking continues to work.

Research direction

Start by locating the backend validateProposedChangesFields and validatedBlockedBys logic and trace how project and car membership are checked. Update the validation behavior so same-car cross-project references are accepted while other-car references remain rejected. Confirm that same-project blocking still works and verify all three acceptance criteria with the relevant existing tests.
