Related tasks and blockers
Link tasks across projects: mark what a task is blocked by, what it blocks, or just that two tasks are related.
Any task can link to other tasks in the workspace, in the same project or a different one. Links show in the Related tasks section of the task window.
Link two tasks
- 1Open a task and find Related tasks (below the files).
- 2Click Add.
- 3Choose Blocked by (this task waits on the other), Blocking (the other task waits on this one) or Related to.
- 4Search for the other task by its title and click it.
The link shows on both tasks: if Task A is blocked by Task B, Task B lists Task A under Blocking.
Blocked tasks
While a task it's blocked by is still open, the section shows a Blocked by N open tasks warning. It goes away when every blocker is completed.
Two tasks can't block each other. Remove the old link first if the order changed.
Open or remove a link
- Click a linked task's title to open it.
- Hover a link and click × to remove it. Removing it from one task removes it from both.
Who sees links
You only see and link tasks you can see. A link to a task in a private project you're not in stays hidden from you. Adding and removing links is recorded in the task's activity.
