Why can't I link two tasks? Are there limitations when setting dependencies?


Yes, there are limitations.

Limitations when setting dependencies

  • any number of tasks or subtasks can be dependent on a task, however, the task itself can be dependent on only one task
  • The start of task B cannot be set earlier than the start/finish of the task А (depending on the type of dependency), therefore, you cannot set a shorter time period either on the Gannt chart or when editing the task 
  • you cannot create cyclic dependencies (i.e.task А depends on task B, and task B depends on task А)
  • in order to eliminate confusion, we are no longer allowing dragging time frames of the tasks that have dependencies on the calendar of events and change their time frames with the bulk operations option
Dependency setting in between tasks is available in the tariff plans Optimal and higher.
