Subtask Dependencies

Hi @Melissa_Hoppe, and welcome @Lis_Engelsman,

Is there a way for a subtask to be dependent on a previous subtask?

Yes - making a task dependent works the same way whether it’s a task or subtask. I discuss this in some more detail in this post above in this thread:

Subtask Dependencies

Hi @Kara_Jacobson and welcome to the forum! Yes, you can definitely make a subtask dependent on another subtask. One thing you have to remember is that by default, subtasks do not inherit an association to their parent task’s project (you have to manually make that association if you choose to). This leads to a catch with creating subtask dependencies - as noted above in this thread, when Asana displays the list of tasks to choose from to identify the dependency task, it displays subtasks in …

In addition, I really like the workaround posted just above by @Darbie_Pelachick - very handy, Darbie!

So if one subtask date get changed, the others will automatically be pushed back the same number of business days based on the original timing?

This is not possible with Asana. However, it is definitely possible using my Flowsana integration - both the Dynamic Duration and Auto-Adjust workflow types do exactly what you’re wanting.
