I would like to create a recurring task (T) with a sub-task (S). I can make task T depend on the first instance of sub-task S (S-1). But then when a new instances of task T are created, they all depend on S-1, rather than later instances.
i.e. I'd like the tasks to work as follows
1 (hidden) recur:weekly due:Thursday -- Draft report
2 (visible) recur:weekly due:02/09/2012 -- Draft report
3 (hidden) recur:weekly due:Friday -- Finalize report
4 (visible) recur:weekly due:02/10/2012 dep:2 -- Finalize report
5 (visible) recur:weekly due:02/16/2012 -- Draft report
6 (visible) recur:weekly due:02/17/2012 dep:5 -- Finalize report
But task 6 depends on task 2 unless I manually modify task 6 to depend on task 5 instead. And such a manual modification needs to be made each week for the new tasks generated.
It's not difficult to come up with scenarios in which such a feature would be quite useful. E.g. a 5 step process that needs to be done monthly, such as: draft report, submit for review, update based on feedback, have it signed, submit.
