Task Relationships

Tasks can now be linked in three different ways:

Blocked by: this task depends on another task. These blocker links drive the warning you see when moving a task forward and they are also the only links shown in the Gantt view.
Duplicate of: this task is duplicate work and should point to one canonical task.
Related tasks: tasks belong together, but one does not block the other.

Blocked by and Blocks

Use Blocked by when work should wait for another task to finish. If you try to move a blocked task to another state before all blockers are done, the app warns you and shows which blocker is still open.

The matching Blocks section is filled automatically. You do not manage it directly because it is derived from other tasks that point to the current one.

Duplicate of

Use Duplicate of when two tasks describe the same work and you want everyone to jump to one canonical task quickly. A task can point to one canonical duplicate target at a time.

The Duplicates section is also automatic and lists tasks that already point to the current task.

Use Related tasks for loose connections such as follow-ups, shared context, or parallel work. These links do not create blocker warnings and they do not change scheduling behavior.

Availability

Task relationships are a Pro feature. In Discord, /task relations lets you add or remove Blocked by, Duplicate of, and Related tasks links directly.
