How to create Date dependency for subtasks ? (Automation)

[Yash Raj]

Hi guys,

I want to create date dependency for all the Subtasks

for eg.   

Subtask 1   1st jan

Subtask 2    2nd jan

Subtask 3    3rd jan

Subtask 4    4th jan

so incase if the "Subtask 1" is delayed then automatically subtask 2 date should change to 3rd jan and same with other subtasks

and also need to insert a condition 

1) all the subtask should start one after another

2) if i  mark subtask 3 transission to "not requirded"  then i can start other  subtasks

how can i achive this  

kindly help

Hi @Yash Raj - Here's a sample of how this could work:

Here's a quick explanation - I'm using Due Date field as an example:

1. When Due Date changes
2. And it was changed on a sub-task
3. Branch into each sibling sub-task
4. Then add 1 day to each sub-task due date

I'd need a little more context into what you mean by your other condition:

if i mark subtask 3 transition to "not required" then i can start other  subtasks

hey  @Mark Segall  thanks for your response

i want your 4th Point to be automate...

for eg.  if number of days increases in particular subtask then it should also delay other subtasks dates..  like wise every subtask is dependend on other subtask

So you're wanting to capture that if say, sub-task1 is delayed by 4 days that all of the others are delayed by 4 days as well? 

If this is the case, you would need some business logic to identify how many days to delay for each sub-task, branch into each sub-task, and then update the due date accordingly.

thanks for your quick response @Mark Segall  

actually we dont know how much time/date delayed. so when ever the delay we update the delay time, the remaining subtask delay time should automatically change.
