Whenever a task due date it is very logical that asana should prompt to change all the tasks where this particular tasks is blocking it.
E.g :
Task 1 due date was on Day 1
Task2 due date has a dependency on Task 1
Whenever Task1 due date is extended there is a direct impact on task2 and user should be aware of it.
I have seen this feature in the other project management tool and it works very well.
If in case of delay in Task1 and a user is changing a due date of task 1. Task 2 due date should be prompted to be changed. Currently task 2 likely becomes overdue and one has to analyse and then understand the reason.

@Emily_Roman if this request does not exist, it should be moved into product feedback. I am pretty sure it does exist though

I believe we already offer this feature for dependent tasks. The assignee of the dependent task will receive notifications when the precedent task has its due date changed or removed 
Let me know if this is what you are trying to achieve!
It is not about the notification for the dependent users.
The precedent task should be aware of the impact when he is changing the due end date and pop up should be for him to change the end date of the dependent task. Even better would be if system suggested new Due date based on the number of days changed on the precedent task.

Was this ever answered? I am looking for the same kind of function.
Thank you!

This is currently not possible and the roadmap is not public.
There is a similar function that allows you to move a string of dependent tasks due dates via the timeline. Which is great except that it can be fiddly to navigate around and I have a boss that wants it to work from the listview.
Can I please get a survey of who else would like this functionality? Like this post if you’d find moving strings of dependent tasks’ due dates from listview handy. Thanks!

Is there any update about this topic? I have the same issue, and would be very important if the dependent task changes its date when precedent task date changes. As Gowri said, it would be nice if the system suggested a new Due date based on the number of days changed on the precedent task. And it would be important to work in all types of views. Both in list view, gantt, calendar and timeline view. Is that possible?
Yes this behaviour now exists. If you have dependencies between the task AND when updating the first task you click “update” instead of change in the calendar, then you can expect the other tasks to be shifted.
Thanks for sharing an update, Bastien. Are there any plans to add this feature at the subtask level? For example, if a task dependency is created between subtasks and the due date for the subtask blocking the dependent task changes it would be nice to have the “update” feature displayed at the subtask level.
