[Status: Backburner ⌛️] Tasks dependency setup should not be locked base on Task Status

Follow

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

  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.

  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
