We have daily recurring tasks which also have recurring subtasks. So if the task is due every Tuesday, then subtask-1 is due the Friday before Tuesday and subtask-2 is due the Thursday before Tuesday.
It would be extremely helpful for the subtasks to recur basis relativity to the main task’s due date!
Any clue if this is something Asana team is going to be looking at?
Also looking for this exact feature of a reoccurring string of dependent tasks and the fact Asana can’t do this is why our growing company has gone a different direct for a tool.
Surprised in 2022 this isn’t functionality that is offered by Asana.
Same issue here, please build this feature @Asana.
We created a solution that works perfectly.
All you need is a team of programmers and a few months, lol.
We do not use the repeating feature in Asana and use a database & automations that repopulate the asana project. Basically recreating much of Asana itself. But the result is we can have dependencies, automatic date changes relative to the main task, and subtasks assigned to different people.
We have a couple hundred projects and we couldn’t keep up with manually reteeing up the tasks because of the dependency issue.
Anyways, pretty dumb not to have this feature - must be some sort of complexity issue with how they structured their database.

For Peete’s sake please create a fix for this.

This feature is absolutely a necessity. Can someone from Asana please advise if this is being created OR if I need to go find a different software to use?
Is there an update anywhere about this? we are an accounting firm that has hundreds of recurring tasks, and need the dependencies to be created based on those recurring tasks. There MUST be a way around this that does not create too much manual work on resetting dates all the time?
This seems so obvious of a need. Is there a functionality request to get this added to the product pipeline? The dependency is kind of useless for recurring tasks the way it’s set up right now…
Adding my voice to this also. Similar to Sally above - we are an accounting firm and have hundreds of daily recurring tasks…and do not want to create separate projects every day. It would greatly help us to have the ability to add dependencies to these. I love Asana for many reasons, but there are some “features not bugs” (like subtasks not taking on the properties of the parent tasks) that continually keep us from being able to set up permanent living projects the way we (and from what I have seen many others in the Asana universe) would like. We can get it 90% there, which is still better than where we were able to get our previous work management system. But, a few things like this are still a bit annoying. Recurring tasks with dependencies is a little more complicated to implement from a product development perspective - I get that. But, I’d rather Asana say that it’s not on the product roadmap than try to spin it as intentional - or even as the way it should be.
Same as many of the people in here. We do accounting with many recurring tasks. We have all our clients setup in asana and unless I hear soon that this request for 6 years has still not been addressed it does not seem to me that asana really care about the issue. @moderators can you please tell us if something is in the works here? If I don’t hear in the next few weeks, I think unfortunately me and my team will be off asana. If you are aware and addressing can we get an update? I really don’t want to move us, but this is a very crucial piece for us. Thanks
Experiencing the same issue while evaluating if Asana is the right tool for our team. It’s disappointing that this has been an issue since 2018 and hasn’t been addressed. There MUST be a workaround for this very obvious capability need.
We’ve always required this feature and have always assumed a workaround or update would solve it. Still nothing.
