Select Tasks for Dependencies rather than Searching

[April_McCaffrey]

I use templates a lot but sometimes ad-hoc tasks need to be added into a templated project. When this happens, I add dependencies to the task but it gives me options for tasks with the same name outside of the project, sometimes not giving me the option for the current project’s tasks due to the limited view of options.

I recommend that when adding dependencies, you are able to select the tasks you want to have the dependencies for within the same project.

Hi @April_McCaffrey,

Can you clarify what you mean by “select”? Is your request the same as this one:

Allow task dependencies to be restricted to current project

When using the dropdown list for task dependency selection, tasks from all projects meeting the “type ahead” criteria are displayed. When the task name is too long to show the Project name in the selection box, it is impossible to identify the correct task. Restricting the selection list to the current project would be helpful. Alternatively, expanding the hover function to include the Project name would help as well. Note that the functionality works as desired in Templates

or if it’s something different, can you elaborate a bit? Thanks!
