Feature Request: Drag&Drop dependencies

[neilh]

Hi,

Proposed benefit: Suggestion that would save time, improve best
practice and increase

Proposed feature: Drag and drop to create task dependencies (using a
hotkey to distinguish from a move)

Description:
I quite often want to add task dependencies don't bother as it takes
me too long to go into the dependencies box, click open the list,
scroll to the action, etc. What I'd love is to be able to do this by
drag & drop.

I can see this working in two possible ways:
1. by allowing you to drag a task with the shift-key held down and
drop it on another task to show that the task you have dragged is a
dependencies for the one that you dropped it on to (instead of moving
it)
2. have a button in the Dependencies panel that pops open a new dialog
box as a collector for the currently highlighted task. This would
allow you to move the cursor to other tasks and drag them into the
collector dialog.

This would help in using dependencies better - which would make MLO
more powerful for project management (if changes to the due-dates in
dependent tasks triggered an alert in the subsequent task) , and
increase focus in the To-Do list (automatically hiding the tasks you
can't do anything about without having to select the 'complete
subtasks in order' for the whole branch).

Any others think this would help them?

I have not used dependancies yet.. Because I thought they took too
much effort to setup. If it was as easy as drag n drop whilst holding
a modifier key, I might start using them!

Also, or alternatively, would a new Outline view work to manage
dependancies?

Drag and drop to create dependency is a time-saver.
I placed a feature request on uservoice:

If anyone thinks that it is a great feature, please vote for it on uservoice.

Best wishes

Do you know you can drag tasks with right mouse button clicked for advanced options? You can add dependency or local links this way. Let me know if it helps.

Andrey, that's fantastic.
It's a wonderful feeling to discover again and again new features of MLO.
Thank you so much for your hard work!

Ah, is that why I keep getting a menu sometimes but not always asking if I want to add a dependency when I drag and drop? Maybe I'm bumping the right mouse button.
