BUG: Dependency dialogue box appears but no dependency set

[Ralph Earey]

Hi Dan, In 7.1.4.2 When attempting to tick te complete box for the highlighted task, a dialogue box appears advising that the task on which this task is dependent must be completed first. However, there is no dependency set on this task.

[.dan.g.]

Hi Ralph

I think you've fallen foul of a bug that inserted a single <space> character for tasks without a Dependency, causing the app to think it has a dependency but it not appearing to have one in the edit field.

If I'm correct then displaying the 'Dependency' column will show an icon for that task.

I believe from memory that clicking in the Dependency field and hitting the space bar should be enough to reset the attribute and fix the problem.

If this does not work then you will need to send me the tasklist because it sounds like something new...

Spot-on, worked a treat - thx

Hi Dan, your workround does indeed work but it's a real pain as I have to do that for for every task that I want to click to complete on a TDL project with hundreds of tasks. I've used the same TDL for an annual event or years and not experienced this before. Sounds like a bug?

[.dan.g.]

Do you use any actual dependencies in that tasklist?

[Ralph Earey]

None at all (I think)

[.dan.g.]

In that case:

1. Make sure the Dependency edit field is visible

2. Switch to the List View

3. 'Edit > Select All'

4. Type a <space> in the Dependency field which should reset the Dependency on every task

5. Save

If it happens again then it's obviously not the historical bug I previously fixed and I will attend to it.

Thx Dan - that's worked - I'll monitor it.

[.dan.g.]

Thx mate.

I'll close this issue but just reopen it or post a new bug if it appears again.
