Suggestions for Improving the Task Dependency Blocking Feature

Hello Asana Team,

I have two suggestions to improve the handling of dependent tasks, and I hope you will consider them in future updates.

  1. Task Locking Dependencies:
    In Asana, there is an option to set tasks as dependent, for example, locking Task A until Task B is completed. However, in the desktop version, when trying to complete Task A, a warning window pops up, but it is still possible to forcefully complete the task. In the mobile version, Task A simply gets completed without any warning. This creates a problem because it is not always clear that the task is still dependent. It would be great if there were a stricter task locking feature that would prevent completing Task A until Task B is completed. This would improve control over dependencies and help prevent errors in task management.
  2. Recurring Task Dependencies:
    When a task is set to repeat, the dependency locking often gets lost. For instance, if a task repeats on a regular basis, the dependency between tasks no longer works, and the task can be completed regardless of the status of the other dependent tasks. It would be useful if the dependency locking was maintained for recurring tasks so that they continue to depend on other tasks even when recreated.

I hope these suggestions will be helpful and improve the functionality of Asana. Thank you in advance for your attention!
