+5Hi,
I am trying to set dependencies to different stages in a process.
I know that for setting dependencies for tasks, Quickbase has the Predecesors field,
But what I need to do is to "lock" the next stage (of my kanban) until the tasks that are opened in the present stage are already completed. I think I saw a video of someone doing this but I cant find it again.
Does anybody know how can I do this?
Thanks!
+9Are you trying to make it so that if there are pending predecessors, users cannot move/change the status in the Kanban while those tasks are still open? When you say 'stage' - are you just talking like 'Not Started', 'In Progress', 'Complete' etc?
If you're using native predecessors - you would have the work date field that corresponds with when the predecessors are all complete and the task is dependent on them 'releases'. With that field you could have a Custom Data Rule set for your table that the 'work date' must have a value in order to allow it to proceed. If you use that method it wouldn't stop them trying to move items but QB would throw an error like below so the users would know that they couldn't proceed
