Blocker

Blocker is the ability to stop the simultaneous creation and add some consistency creation to process workflow. So, adding a blocker stops a process from running at a given point. No issue after that point can be created until the tasks before aren't completed. This simple action turns basic runs into powerful Process workflows.

You can use a single blocker in your workflows, add a series of blockers to the specific sections of your process, or add blockers to every process step, which effectively enforces the order in which your workflow run is completed.
