Re: [O] Linked tasks

[Pete Ley]

 it seems to me that it's more 'depend' in the sense of 'this task has
 to be done for this other task to be doable'.

IIRC, the TRIGGER property in org-depend.el allows you to change the
state of another tree when the current one is marked done. I imagine you
could use it to have a clone task in another tree that is TRIGGERed to
change to done when the other is. 

Example

* Some tree
** TODO Update CV
   :PROPERTIES:
   :TRIGGER: cv-clone(DONE)
   :END:

* Some other tree
** TODO Update CV clone
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID: cv-clone
   :END:

Hi Eric,

Thank you, I will have a closer look at org-depend, although it seems to me
that it's more 'depend' in the sense of 'this task has to be done for this
other task to be doable'. But I only had a glimpse on the code.

Regards,

FC

 There's an org-depend package in the contrib directory that's supposed
 to do this, but I haven't looked at it before... Vanilla Org only does
 dependencies within the same subtree.
