Project and subtask automatic dependecies

When defining a Project with relative task like this:

7ec590f8b9bbd3f68b4fa59ffe08779d

I often have subtask with Finish-To-Start dependecies, that I?ve to set one by one.

I'd really like an option to automatically set that for a specific parent (project) topic, I can define that all subtopics have default and automatic dependecies.

For example, I'd like to set ALL dependecnies (without adding one by one) in task Options:

In MindManager for Windows you can create a chain of dependencies with only a couple of clicks. Make the list of subtasks under the parent, and mark them as tasks. Open the Task Info task pane. Then use the lasso to select the subtasks in order from first to last. Set the dependency to F2S in the task info pane. This will create a chain of dependencies from first to last subtask, and is much quicker than adding them one by one.

THanks!

This is a useful workaround.

Activate them always in the right order ❗❗❗

The dependencies are created in the order of selecting the tasks

And if you want several tasks to be dependent on one other task, you can use this macro: https://github.com/vonloxley/MindManager-Macros/blob/master/MakeAllSelectedDependentOnFirstSelected.mmbas
