Filter for predecessor tasks

When using a predecessor field for tasks in a project mgmt tool, is there any option to have a filter to only show tasks that belongs to the current project?

    Unfortunately, this feature is not currently available in Quickbase, but I would encourage you to include this request on our User Voice site!

    Best Regards,
  • Any changes to this situation. I have a need to figure out how to triage what are true active tasks and what are tasks waiting to be completed.
  • Me too, this seems like such a simple fix to do.  I dont see how the scheduling tool can be used with out it unless you only have one schedule.
  • I need this as well.  When you have multiple projects on the same table it is really difficult to find the correct predecessor task without a filter of some sort.  It would need to work similarly to the dependency when working with multiple choice fields - it this field matches that field.
  • Just found this one post and would like to see if it has been resolved.  I need this filter also.

      Granted the App Predecessor button is not really useful.  I find that the best way is to have the child table of Tasks on a Project record in Grid Edit mode and show the [Record ID#] as a column and just hand type the Predecessor(s) separated by commas.

      Yes it's a bit of a pain but typically, you will have Template Projects with Templated Tasks, and the result of the Copy Master Detail is so powerful it's worth the hassle.

        Mark,

        Too bad, I was hoping maybe they fixed this after all the years since it was first discovered.

        Going with your suggestion plus some help text on the page.
