What are the dependencies between a subtask and a previous task?

  • You cannot change a subtask if it has a previous task. You cannot change its status to ‘Completed’ or modify its start time. 
  • During the creation of a subtask, the start date and time of the subtask are set to the due date and time of its previous task.
  • If an existing subtask with no start date and time are edited and linked to a previous task, then the start date and time are updated with the previous task's due date (if specified). 
  • If an existing subtask whose start date and time are specified is edited and linked to a previous task with no start date and time, then the start date and time of the subtask are not overwritten by the value specified in its previous task.
  • You can mark a subtask as completed only after completing its previous task.
