[Status: Backburner ⌛️] Tasks dependency setup should not be locked base on Task Status
Hi guys,
I noticed a strange behavior/UX in wrike today.
1- I was waiting for an information from some colleague, which blocked one of my task
>> action : task status = Blocked.
Then, having a bit of delay, i decided to create a specific task to get the action done by a colleague
2- Create second task, setup dependancy.
and here is the issue:
- if the task is "active", i can set the dependency
- if the task is "blocked" (on hold), I can't set the dependency
I do not understand this behavior. Whatever the actual status of my task, i should be able to manage all project management feature associated with those task, especially dependencies
read you soon and happy to get any feedback
Julien
hey Wrike Support team: quick up: is this a bug or on purpose?
thanks
I noticed this too while I was iterating a project template that we use. I had to change the parent tasks to an active status before it would let me assign dependencies. Looking forward hearing a response from Wrike on this.
Hey Wrike Moderation: a quick up?

Hey everyone, there are still plans to implement this at some point this year. I'll let you know as soon as I have more information!
This would be awesome, as it's really not userfriendly, costs some time, and generates useless notififcations, so bring sometimes confusion.
Looking forward for a positive bug fixing and thanks for the information
