Task Dependencies

Task Dependencies

Task dependencies define "finish-to-start" relationships: a task depends on another task completing first.

  • Dependencies are added from the Dependencies tab on the task edit page.
  • Only tasks within the same project can be linked.
  • The system prevents circular references (A depends on B depends on A).
  • Incomplete predecessors show a warning banner on the task.
  • Kanban board: Tasks with incomplete predecessors show a lock icon and "Blocked by dependency" label.
  • Gantt chart: Dependencies render as arrows between task bars.
  • When cloning a project, task dependencies are cloned along with the tasks.
