[#3473]

According to the user guide, predecessors and successors must belong to the same project or to be a project. This is fine for me, but I would like to have the possibility to link tasks of different sub-projects and this seems not possible.

The work flow in my company is going through different stages. Each stage is managed by a manager who shares the work between the people of his team. When a part (an item) of the work is finished, it goes to another stage managed by another manager. See the small attached chart. By creating sub-project for each stage, every manager has the possibility to see the progress of his team and the project manager can have a full view of the progress of his job. Unfortunately, it seems not possible to link each item from stages to stages as they belong to another sub-project. Is there a way to avoid this ?

Thank you for your answer.

In fact the sentence in the user manual

Predecessors and successors must belong to the same project or be a project.

is wrong 🙁

The fact is that selection in the "add predecessor" or "add successor" pop-up provides by default list of items of the same project. But it is possible to link items from different projects :
- eithe using the "magnify" button to search for element in list that includes items from all project
- manually "draw" the dependency in the Gantt planning view using the drag & drop feature.

I tested with V5.4.1, but I did not get the same behavior as described in the last reply.
I must select "All projects" in project selector to get the behavior describes.

Is it normal?

Yes Richard, it is normal, list of projects is always restricted to selected project and its sub-project.

But best way to work is use drag & drop to create a dependency ;).

Is it possible in future version adds a checkbox in the dialog box, allowing display all values from visible projects?

To avoid to select "All projects" in project selector to come back to my project.

Also, could be useful for adding linked elements.
