Dependencies & Issue Integration
Connect steps together and link to issues for comprehensive project tracking.
Dependencies
Dependencies help you track which milestones or steps must be completed before others can begin.
Setting Dependencies
- Click the Edit button in the step's action menu, or edit inline by clicking on the Dependencies column
- In the Dependencies section, search and select the milestones or steps that must be completed first
- Dependencies are shown as numbered badges (e.g., "1", "1.1", "2.2") that you can hover over for details
Viewing Dependency Details
Hover over any dependency badge to see a hover card with:
- The dependency's description
- Due date (if set)
- Assigned parties
- Any comments
Conflict Detection
If a dependency has a due date that's after the current step's due date, you'll see a schedule conflict warning. The dependency badge will indicate the conflict, and the hover card will show which dates are misaligned. This helps you identify and resolve timeline issues before they become problems.
Issue Integration
Steps can be linked to issues in the Issues app for detailed tracking.
Linking Issues to Steps
- From a step's action menu, select Add Issue to create a new issue linked to this step
- Or select Navigate to Issues to see all issues linked to this step in the Issues app
Issue Progress
The progress indicator on each step automatically reflects the completion status of all linked issues. As issues are completed, the progress indicator updates in real-time.
