Automation: Dependencies on subitems that will be created

When I automated an item to created a few subitems, I want them to be dependent to one another. In another words: I have the subitems as steps. So one can only start if the other one is done. But those subitems are created only if the status is changed to X.
I cant make them dependent to each other in the automation bc they are not created yet.
Right?
Any other way to make it happen? Am I missing something?

TIA!

Hello @nataliakehat !

You are absolutely correct, and this is an issue we have faced many times.

What we try to do is either utilize template boards if applicable to the use case ( because the dependencies there carry over) or use Make.com to create the tasks with the dependencies prebuilt ( let me know if you need any professional help with that!).

I know it’s a big issue, but unfortunately I do not think we are going to be able to natively do this with monday any time soon.

Hope this helps!
