Setting task due dates and dependencies

Tasks can have due dates and depend on other tasks completing first. This article covers configuring due dates and dependencies on a task.

Setting start and due dates​

  1. Open a task's detail sheet.
  2. Under Properties, use the Start date and Due date pickers to choose dates.

Dates also show up on the task card and in list view. A due date that has passed is highlighted in red, unless the task has no start date recorded yet.

Adding a dependency​

  1. Open a task's detail sheet.
  2. Next to Depends on, click + Add.
  3. Search for the task this one depends on and click it to add it.

The dependency appears as a chip showing the other task's number and title. Click a chip's ✕ to remove that dependency.

Dependencies can also be added while creating a task, in the Dependencies section of the Add Task dialog — available once the board has other tasks to depend on.

Dependent tasks are shown inline on the task card and on board/list rows as small linked chips, so you can see at a glance what a task is waiting on.
