Right now it’s only possible to connect dependencies between same-level items. It becomes very important for our work to allow dependencies across different levels. Sometimes sub-tasks within a group depend on other groups or larger tasks, rather than other sub-tasks.
Other combinations are also relevant, such as a task depending on a sub-task in another group/workspace.
Hi,
I would like to set subitems as dependent on main items, but this does not seem possible. Am I missing something?
Me three!!! I need main items in various groups to be dependent on subitems of different groups - why is this not working as an option? Thanks and any guidance would be great!
Hi,
I would love to have the ability to connect a subitem to a main item with dependencies. I have built a social media planner and have subitems as tasks related to the main item. I would be such a game changer if my subitem dependencies were linked to the posting date of the main item. Please do this!!!
Hello,
In the roadmap 2024 (Elevate 2023), they spoke about this feature (for work os monday product).
Do you have informations about this?
Thank you
Same, we need sub-items to be able to refer to main tasks.
Hey all,
It’s possible to connect subitems to an item (in this order). What you need to do is to add connected boards column to the subitem itself and then do the actual connection.
We developed an app called subitem automations that provides robust automation capabilities to subitems and allows to do this automatically in certain cases.
Hope this helps!
Hello @BiancaT
Do you have informations about this feature?
It’s normaly in the roadmap 2024?
Thank you for your help.
It is so restrictive not having this feature – it makes it impossible to have a functioning gantt chart and project timeline, making the subtask updates so manual and time-consuming. Please can we get an update on this?
Adding a reply to (hopefully) get more attention on this. My company needs to be able to make subitems dependent on items that they aren’t connected to.
I’m increasingly frustrated by the “there’s an app for that” response to feature requests. I work for an enterprise-level tech company, which has security policies that prohibits the use of 3rd party apps. (Not surprising since Monday.com explicitly states they don’t guarantee the security of those apps.) I’m sure many other companies have the same kind of security restriction.
Please make this available or up date us on when it will be? Makes planning really difficult and confusing not to have these linked in a meaningful way! 
Adding another voice to the need for this feature. any update?
This would be a really great feature. I want to be able to have the subitems dependent between them, but also make dependent to the main item. Any updates?
We are unable to create a functional Gantt Chart due to the very narrow capabilities with dependencies. This is so unfortunate and seems an oversight; the Gantt Chart features in Monday are rudimentary right now, and it does seem that users have been requesting more types of dependencies for years. Until we’re able to navigate a broader range of dependency options (subitems dependent upon items, dependencies on either the start or end dates for items and subitems, etc.) then we won’t be able to replace SmartSheet, Excel or Microsoft Project. This is hampering the adoption of Monday.com in our company.
I second this. I’m really struggling with setting up a product management board for my team using dependencies and having my duration column and timelines sync properly with the dependencies I’ve set up. I’m relatively new to Monday but still feel like I’ve exhausted my resources after trying different solutions for weeks now.
