      Issue Summary

      Users can create dependencies between work items on the project timeline by dragging the dependency icon from one timeline bar and dropping on another. This behavior has been inconsistently failing for some users.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create two work items on the project timeline.
      2. Add a start and due date to both work items so that they are visible on the timeline.
      3. Hover on one of the timeline bars and drag the dependency icon and drop it onto the other timeline bar.
      4. Observe the dependency was not created.

      Expected Results

      Performing the above should create a dependency between the two work items and should be visible on the timeline.

      Actual Results

      No dependency is created between the work items, and no indicator of any errors.

      Workaround

      There are two existing workarounds:

      (1) Create dependencies between work items via the "Connected Work Items" section in issue view:

      (2) Create dependencies on the "Edit dependencies" modal available via the work item meatball menu on project timeline:
