Dependencies/#5528

New topicBookmark
Dependencies would be very cool. Not to do all the gannt chart stuff. A simple use case would be to hide all the tasks that are blocked by other tasks; and when i finish the blocking task -wow- the blocked task comes to me.
When thinking about backlinks it appeared to me that a good way to handle dependencies is the wiki way: to write "extended" wiki links like
[[this :blocks: #3456]]
together with an extended backlinks table we might get dependencies for cheap once we have backlinks.

of course i might learn that this is a bad idea for reasons i did not consider. but if not, i might volunteer for the parser stuff.

the extended wiki links can serve also for gantt:
  • blockedBy / this blocks
  • nextItem
  • previousIs

i think they can be interchanged as long the concept are the same.
for me can be more easy to set blocked_by for the items in daily activities, but for planned actitivities i think is more easy to set the blocks items.

What I really like is a bugzilla-feature:
Each item can depend on and can be blocked by 0-n other items.

(see Screenshot bugzilla_tree_view.jpg)

Would something similar to that also be possible then??
