As a followup, within a section, the :depends: attribute is being
correctly resolved, even though naming is incorrect. I've taken to
giving each area a single letter task_id, such as:
#+begin_org
* Project
** Technical
:PROPERTIES:
:TASK_ID: T
:END:
*** Sub task
:PROPERTIES:
:task_id: T1
:END:
*** Sub task2
*** Sub task
:PROPERTIES:
:task_id: T2
:depends: T1
:END:
#+end_org
That's resolving deps correctly, but not naming correctly:
#+begin_tjp
task sub "Sub task" {
milestone
}
task sub_task2 "Sub task2" {
depends !sub
milestone
#+end_tjp
The problem with this is when depending on something outside of that
particular subtask; the TJ syntax is to use =!= as the equivalent to a
period with respect to directories. So to refer to a task in another
bucket, you need to do something like =:depends: !!M.M1= to refer to
the Milestone bucket (task_id = M), subtask M1 task.
This isn't working with Org taskjuggler export. Not being able to name
task is a huge inconvenience, as one has to use Org's unique-id naming
function, which I'd prefer not to do. It's easier (at least for me) to
just unfold all the property drawers and refer to things by their two
character id. I also tagged each top headline with it's letter bucket
":T:" so that I can just count the item order in the list for it's
resulting subtask id (e.g. "T2").
Best regards,
John
