Odoo's Task Dependencies feature should be enabled if tasks need to follow a specific order. This feature helps manage task flow and ensures tasks are completed in the correct sequence.
To set it up:
- Go to
Project > Configuration > Settings > Task Management. - Enable
Task Dependencies.
Once enabled, a Blocked By tab appears in each task, displaying a task list view. Add tasks to the list that must be completed before starting the current one. Dependencies can be within the same project or across different projects.
Tasks with dependencies are automatically set to the Waiting state and cannot begin until all linked tasks are marked as Done or Cancelled. Once the dependency tasks are completed, the task’s state updates to In Progress, allowing work to begin.
