Moving Tasks with Dependencies
There are dependency-related considerations to keep in mind when moving tasks. Depending on your chosen settings, dependent tasks, as well as the people and time allocated to them, move when you move parent tasks.
There are some cases where dependencies do not have an impact on other tasks:
- If a dependency is already broken (it appears in red) moving its parent does not move the dependent tasks. If the dependency is already broken there is no logical action that can be applied.
- If you move a child task, it has no impact on its parent, only on other children.
- If you move a parent in a direction that does not affect the dependent task, its children do not move. For example, if you have a task that must end before another one starts, and you move the first task back in time (further away from its children), the children do not move because the dependency has not been breached.
