Is ist possible to copy tasks with dependencies ?

I think this is a MindManager 20 bug. I can reproduce it on MM20 but not 21 or above. To copy the relationship between two topics in MM20, you need to select both topics and the relationship (with Ctrl+click). In later versions of MindManager, selecting just the topics is enough to also copy a relationship or dependency between them.

Plain relationships can be interpreted as finish-to-start dependencies by the Gantt feature if this option is enabled in the Gantt Pro options.

I see your Example. You have dependencies a to b and a to c.


It also seems that you have used relationship lines instead of dependencies, (but I may be wrong)

That could be the reason.

I recreated it, BUT I set dependencies in the TaskPane a to b to c

I can copy and paste, and the info shows correct. So it looks like MindManager checks if dependencies are correct

Good to know. Thanks Nick.

Maybe @Joerg in future mention your version number. That could save time to solve your issue.

On my desktop, yes I see it.

But not on my smartphone.

Sorry for that.
