Hi, Elizabeth (hi tigger) It's very challenging to set up dependencies with repeating tasks, because the dependency is satisfied when the independent task is completed, however recurring tasks are never completed, they just reoccur. To explore this, create a recurring task and a simple task with the simple task dependent on the recurring task. (for simplicity sake do not create a delay for the dependency). In the advanced recurrence options for the recurring task, select that you want a completed copy of the task created whenever the task reoccurs. The dependent task is inactive because the task on which it is dependent is uncompleted. Now complete the recurring task. You now see two copies of that task, one with the original schedule and completed, and the other with a future schedule, recurring and uncompleted. If the dependent task were dependent on the completed copy then the dependency would be fulfilled. But it is not. It is dependent on the uncompleted, future, recurring copy. No matter how many times you complete the recurring task, the dependent task's dependency remains unsatisfied. The only way that the dependency will ever be satisfies is if the recurrence options for the repeating task specify a maximum number of reocurrences, and that maximum is reached. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
