I just ran into this issue as well- it is very unfortunate that such an obvious function was overlooked.
Came here looking to find a way to prevent same day dependent tasks from showing a red line.
We launch a thing, then do a bunch of micro-tasks to promote the thing, all in the same day. It’s a sea of red and makes the dependency management features useless.
Sad to see this is by design, and there’s no native workaround.
How is this still not fixed?! That’s absurd, it seems one line code fix.

In addition to bug bounty programs, maybe companies should have a “one-line fix bounty program” where people could submit “things that could be fixed with a single line”.

@Phil_Seeman, there’s no way to adjust Dependency Management Options to “None” and also have Weekend Awareness turned on, is there? When moving dependent tasks that are due on the same day, I either have to turn the options to “Consume Buffer” or “Maintain Buffer” (and end up with a bunch of dates that shift just because Asana doesn’t understand how they can be due on the same day) or turn it to “None” and then have to do a bunch of manual work to shift dates off of the weekend.
Hi,
Do we have a fix for this yet?
Note: Not a solution but marked as such to elevate a key reply
I see that adding a time to the task due date allows dependent tasks on the same day to be shown without the red line

Great contribution, @Duncan_Macfarlane; I’ve added a note to your post and marked it for visibility.
Thanks,

Love this, and has been a regular issue in the workflows I’ve built.
It still looks like there’s some improvement needed with how auto-shifting works in this scenario, as I’m seeing any shift in date of a dependency connected task will ignore the Due Time and revert to the behaviour of separating dependent tasks by a day, instead of maintaining the relationship of the Due Times separating the tasks.
This is getting closer and closer to being resolved!
