Problem with Dependency

[Darryl Brooks]

Finally had a need to set a dependency. Two simple tasks, both repeating weekly, due today. As expected, both show in my active tasks. I make B dependent on A, and again, as expected, B disappears. I mark A as complete and... nothing. B doesn't show. I check everything under All tasks and it all looks right. Delay is set to none.

What am I missing?

i tried out your configuration and it happens like what you have described.

On the task statistic panel, it says that the task is inactive due in incomplete dependency"

I think it is because Task A reappears ask the result of recurrence & thus task B assume the NEW task A as the OLD task A resulting the hidden task B.

I cant anyway to work around it.

Maybe you should use "complete subtask in order"?

Sorry, the delayed posting of this group made me forgot that I had found more information and forgot about this. Apparently, a recurring task never gets 'completed.' In my mind, a check off something due to today, it becomes a task completed today and then the next occurrence gets created. Within MLO, what is actually happening is the recurring task is simply getting rescheduled. Since the first task was never completed, the second task never appears.

Workaround as many have found, is to not use dependencies on recurring tasks. Unfortunately, 90% of my tasks are recurring.

Perhaps make A non-repeating, but have both A and B subtasks of a repeating task. If this parent task is set to repeat, does it give you the behaviour you want?
