Task dependencies

[Darren Rose]

Hello

I appear to be able to complete a task, even though the task it is dependant on is not complete. Why is this? 

Also, would it be possible to have a task be dependent on more than one other task being done? i.e. The previous 3 tasks must be done first

thanks

@Darren Rose thanks for your post.

At the moment, the dependent tasks functionality is very limited. It is simply a relationship and there is no logic that exists behind it.  We have big plans with future updates where we will be adding more functionality and logic here, such as what you are describing.

Thanks, @alextumber It's a shame, because having the option to identify a relationship, but for it have no effect, is giving the PM team a reason to moan (which they love doing ) and trying to dodge adopting it... If there is an importance on the list of development ideas, having dependencies of the tasks would be high up there for me if possible

@Darren Rose thanks for your feedback. I will certainly pass this on to our development and product teams.

Hello,

Will it be possible to have dependencies on tasks across projects in the future?

thanks

@Nikolaj thanks for your post.

 

I will pass on your feedback to our product team. Our first priority is to add logic for dependencies between tasks within the same project. After that, if there is enough demand for cross project dependencies, then it is something that we will no doubt look into.
