Apparently in a current experiment being run by Asana, they have removed Maintain Buffer dependency functionality for auto-shifting predecessor tasks based on a downstream dependent task date change. This essentially means that all tasks with dependencies relative to an overall project due date task are not shifted based on that due date shifting out or up.
This is a huge issue for my company since we have set up our project templates relying on this previously available functionality to automatically shift ~25 tasks per project with varying relative timings. This change pretty much renders dependencies useless for us, a major blow considering schedule creation and management in Asana is already fairly restricted since it does not have the concept of task duration or relative date setting outside of initial Project Template setup.
