#Xenonauts 2 trello update#
When the date for a task moves, you might need to update the dates of all sub-tasks. Let's see it all together: Update dates of sub-tasks when an item is added to checklist "Pre-requisites" by anyone, find a card titled ".".when an item is added to checklist "Sub-tasks" by anyone, convert the item into a linked card.Instead of manually creating dependency links, you can automatically create them with two Butler Rules: Note: This section shows examples for managing task dependencies with Butler commands. Let's see it in action on a Trello board: Automating task dependencies with Butler In the attachments of the dependency card, add a link back to the dependent card.In a checklist on the dependent card, add a link to the dependency card.If you have two cards- a dependent and a dependency-do the following: If the card depends on the linked card, add a link back to the former card in the attachments.In a dependency checklist, link each item to a card on which the task depends.If your task has both pre-requisites and sub-tasks, separate them into two checklists.Store the task's dependencies as items in a checklist on the card.If you need to represent task dependencies in Trello, we recommend using the following system: when the dependencies for a task are completed, the task can be automatically moved to a new state.the tasks are linked so it's easy to jump to a dependency and back.each task has a list of its dependencies.Trello doesn't have a built-in task dependency management, but you can use such elements as checklists and link attachments to represent and manage task dependencies. This allows you to develop the system in which: Prerequisites: a task requires some other task(s) to be completed before it can start. Once all prerequisites are complete, the task can start. For example, you cannot roll out a new feature until it is fully developed.Īn example task dependency chart: red lines depict prerequisites, green lines depict sub-tasks.Sub-tasks: a task is broken down into smaller tasks. When all sub-tasks are completed, the task is completed. For example, sending a product update email to customers might involve developing several email templates, each consisting of different elements.Typically, the task's dependencies can be: When using Trello, you might need to work with task dependencies when the completion of a task requires prior completion of other tasks. With Butler, you can easily automate the management of such tasks to supercharge your Trello workflows.
