Restrictions of Global Issues

As the relationship between Global Issues and GlobalLinks has certain rules associated with it, there are certain restrictions to these Issue types:

A GlobalLink cannot be created from another GlobalLink—You must create the GlobalLink from the Global Issue.
A Global Issue cannot be created from another Global Issue—This would result in duplicate Global Issues. To replace a Global Issue, delete the Global Issue, then create a new Global Issue.
A Subtask cannot be created for a Global Issue or a GlobalLink—Because Subtasks and Master Issues have their own rules and links, Global Issues and GlobalLinks cannot contain Subtasks.
A Master Issue cannot become a Global Issue or a GlobalLink—Because Subtasks and Master Issues have their own rules and links, Global Issues and GlobalLinks cannot contain Subtasks.
Global Issues and GlobalLinks cannot be copied and linked to other Issues or Workspaces—While regular Issues can be copied and linked to within the current Workspace or to another Workspace, Global Issues and GlobalLinks do not have this option.
