Hi all,

In the Gantt Chart View, I'm selecting a task by clicking on it (don't know other way to do that), then click on the "Add dep." icon, and surprisingly get a message saying that "Step 1 is to select a task".
Do you guys have a hint for that ?

Thanks in advance

Note: In my instance, the "about ToDoList" option shows "7.0 Feature version", so taht I could not choose from the version list available.

Hi Alexandre

Creating a dependency has a specific workflow suggested by the popup dialog:

1. Select the task to be dependent
2. Select the task it will be dependent on

Hi Dan

Thank you for the quick reply
I understand your explenation, and am willing to follow the workflow.
Thing is, I just can't seem to make it move forward - I feel clumsy, gotta admit.

Step 1: I click on "Add dep" icon
-> get the message (cf screenshot)
Step 2: I click on the desired child task
...but then nothing else happens, and I just don't know what to do next

Is there any video capture available somewhere, that could show me what I'm missing ?

Thank you for your patience :)

I think I understand the problem now: You are expected to click on the 'bar' of the item in the right-hand pane not the item title in the left-hand pane.

I will think about how best to fix this.

Now "fixing" as you name it may not be required, as the feature works great.
Maybe only an additional tip in the dialog box on how to "select task" could suffice.

Anyway the tool is great job, and your support was cool - thank you so much again
