Hi Toodledo,

Just wondering if there's any way of connecting two tasks, somehow, such that the start date of the second task is the date that the first task is completed.

Basically, let's say I have a task that involves buying something online, but i need to transfer money to my currently empty bank account first. It wouldn't make sense to show the task "buy online" before the task "transfer money" is completed.

Is there a way to do this without manually setting the due date for the duration task and the start date for the second task the same? Say, if the first task has no due date, but it's just something I want to do when I get around to it?

Thankyou!
Jake

Unfortunately, this isn't possible, but it is on our to-do list. However, we can't comment on a timeframe for implementation.

Thanks

If you search the forums for "task dependency" or just "dependencies", or "sequential tasks", you'll find a lot of requests for this feature. I'm hoping to see it sometime soon.

Is there an update on where this feature sits in the queue of new features? If nothing more, I'd like to see a new field that would just change the task name and push it forward some fixed number of days whenever the user clicked done.
