Forgive me if this has already been addressed elsewhere, but is there any way to create dependencies between tasks? I see that you can add relationships between tasks, but it seems to stop at describing the tasks. What I’m hoping to do is: display tasks on my gantt view so it’s clear what tasks n…

Right now the relations are only descriptive. For the Gantt chart, you’ll need to change the dates to make it visible these tasks follow each other. IIRC there’s an item in the backlog to make it possible to enforce a relationship between tasks, so that you can’t complete one taks without completin…

More of that second one, where modifying the end date of one task moves the start date of another task. Theoretically, there are a number of other behaviors that become necessary when you do that e.g. do you keep the length of the task the same and move the end date, or do you keep the end date wher…

[image] Konrad: IIRC there’s an item in the backlog to make it possible to enforce a relationship between tasks, so that you can’t complete one taks without completing another, related task first. Is that what you had in mind? Or are looking more for a way to “lock” tasks together so that if you…

Hello! I was wondering if there is any development/progress going on around this feature? Its the number one issue that prevents me from integrating your great tool into my workflow. Happy to contribute inputs around the dependency rules such a feature would need to follow. Also, related to this, …

I agree, this is important and in my opinion one of the critical things missing. This doesn’t stop me from using it but it would be great if we had it.

Is it possible to have task dependencies especially in the gant view? For example if you have task 2 which is a follow up of the end date of task 1. And if you change the begin and end date of task 1 that you have an option to move task 2 also, so the start date of task 2 still will be at the end …

Hi there! Just signed up to co-sign on this feature request. My use-case (that I spun up Vikunja for) is to coordinate a renovation with contractors. There are tasks that I assign to them and some to me, which are dependent. E.g. they can’t install my bathroom vanity until I’ve chosen a countertop. …

Just to follow up further, it would be amazing if Projects could also be set as dependencies, with tasks within them. e.g. Project: Furniture (containing tasks such as “buy couch”, “choose drapes”) depends on Project: Painting (includes tasks such as “prime walls”, “paint ceilings”, etc.). So, it’d…

Continuing the discussion from Task Dependencies : Hello, great tool! The use case of dependencies is mainly to see how the finish date moves when one dependent subtask lasts longer or shorter than planned. The whole dependent gantt block moves according to the changing timelines. Its very useful to…

Currently, no progress has been made as other features were prioritized. Could you describe the use-case which you’d need that feature for and any workarounds or other tools you’re currently using in more detail?
