Hello-
My team relies on knowing an event date in several groups, which currently is done by placing an identical “event” task in each group. Our tasks also use a timeline column instead of a date column. The event date is not usually known when the board is being set up, so a date range is applied initially. Once the date is determined, that date is then applied manually to each of the event tasks across the board. I’m wondering if there are any suggestions on how to update the timeline on event task “a”, and have that same date update on event task b,c,d, etc. but without using mirroring. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
Hi @ericmoss - if you utilize a dependency column and tie all the tasks in the other groups to the top task, when you change the date it will alter all the other tasks. A couiple things to note:
Make sure all the dependency column has its mode set to Strict:
And each of the dependent tasks should have a type of FS (Finish-to-start) with a lag of -1:
It should look something like this on the board once done (in this example, Timeline 2 is dependent on Timeline1):
Hope this helps!
