I'm having an issue with creating task dependencies. After creating a task, I see the list of dependencies and select another task for it to depend on. However, after I enter a commit and submit it... the comment is added but the dependency does not get created.
I'm not sure if this is a user error or a bug.

kalgalath commentedApparently I need to learn to read. Disabling iTweak Upload fixes this issue.
Comment #2
kalgalath commentedOops, forgot to close this.
Comment #3
meta_state commentedI am able to create task dependencies, albeit aside from the fact that a task is shown to have a dependent assigned to it, it does not seem to have the functionality to push nor pull the dependent when it's "From" and "To" date is adjusted from within comment driven.
e.g,
Say for instance I have two tasks within a project, with task_2 being dependent on task_1,
if task_1 takes longer to complete than expected, I would assume that pushing the "To" date of task_1 to a further date in the timeline would push task_2's "From" and "To" date further along as well...
I am using the latest CT Plus 6.x-2.9 with all module dependencies (as listed on ct plus drupal project page) uploaded and enabled.

charos commentedI agree with the comment above and I'd like to add that makes no sense to have dependencies on "closed" tasks. This makes the dependencies list very big and I had to use the autocomplete text widget instead of checkboxes. But this makes difficult to remember the dependencies, so currently dependencies cannot be used effectively.
Comment #5
meta_state commentedOnce the dependency issues are ironed out, and the dependency feature deemed fully functional and effective, it would be great to see CT_Plus have the option to add project to project dependencies as well.

myke commentedI have iTweak Upload disabled, and I'm still not seeing anything show up under dependencies...

meta_state commented@myke
From what I gathered, the module doesn't seem to display any dependents while in the process of creating a new task, only after going back and editing or viewing that task will you be able to see and have the option of associating task dependencies.
Comment #8
charos commentedI also confirm this. Dependencies are shown only with comment driven attributes.
Comment #9
danepowell commentedYes, I'd love for task dependencies to be more integrated - to update dates of parent/child tasks, etc... Patches to this effect are welcome.
