Task dependency: update "Planned start date" to (max) "Due date" of prerequisite task(s)
Dear the team,
I have a suggestion about create a new task that depends on other tasks:
- Because the new creation task is only started when all prerequisite tasks are completed so when user check prerequisite tasks in Prerequisite tab of the new creation task, the "Planned start date" should be set to max "Due date" of prerequisite tasks.
- But please note: user is not allowed to choose parent task, ancestor tasks as prerequisite tasks.
Thanks & regards,
We are not going to do this date idea. This is a misunderstanding of how prerequisites work in Task Coach. The whole point is that by planning tasks that have prerequisites, task coach actually stops them from showing up as late until after the prerequisite is completed. Your idea is fundamentally incompatible with this feature.
The issue about parent tasks as prerequisites is a real problem. I already opened a bug report about it however. That is here:

Thanks for your thoughts.
