Adjust Start and End Dates based on Predecessor Completion Dates
A
Alison McQuillan
A dependent action's start and end dates should be updated as the predecessor task's is completed, so that the project and/or action cards adjust according to the delay / acceleration.
For example, I have 3 tasks: Task A takes 5 days and is set with start / end dates of 2024-08-05 through 2024-08-09. Task B takes 3 days and cannot start until Task A is completed, so Hive automatically sets the start / end dates to 2024-08-12 through 2024-08-14 (because we're observing no work on weekends). Finally, Task C takes 2 days and cannot start until Task B is completed, so Hive automatically sets the start / end dates to 2024-08-15 through 2024-08-16. [Note, this is the existing, standard functionality].
Let's say Task A completes on 2024-08-14 (3 days late). Task B should have the start and end dates update to 2024-08-15 through 2024-08-19 (again, observing no work on weekends) and Task C should have the start and end dates update to 2024-08-20 through 2024-08-21.
Similarly, let's say Task A completes on 2024-08-08 (1 day early). Task B should have the start and end dates updated to 2024-08-09 through 2024-08-18 and Task C should have the start and end dates update to 2024-08-19 through 2024-08-20.
Like with the Dependency options of Off, On and Strict, this should be an option for users, as not everyone may want this feature.
I could also see someone wanting a "rolling update", as in we pass the due date for Task A, so Task B and Task C have their start and end dates adjust accordingly.
Note: I believe this is a duplicate of https://hiveteams.canny.io/feature-requests/p/set-dependent-due-date-based-on-predecessors-completion, but it's 2 years old, so not sure how visible it is. Also, it doesn't have an detailed description of the request.
