Rescheduling dependencies

When tasks are connected with a dependency relationship, and the due date of a blocking task is updated, ClickUp automatically adjusts the start and due dates of any tasks waiting on the blocking task.

For example:

Task A is blocking task B. Both tasks have start and due dates set.

Task A's due date is moved one week into the future.

ClickUp automatically updates Task B's start and due dates one week into the future.

Use the Reschedule Dependencies, Duration, Remap Subtask Due Dates, and Only Use Working Days for Scheduling ClickApps to automatically keep your project tasks on track and up-to-date.

Reschedule tasks

To reschedule a task with dependencies:

  1. Open a task that is blocking one or more other tasks.

    Both tasks must have a due date.

  3. The start and due dates of any dependent tasks are updated by the same amount of time.

Reschedule dependencies in List view and tasks

You can also reschedule dependencies from List view or from a task.

Changing the due date of tasks with dependencies to a later date automatically reschedules the start and due dates of all of their dependent tasks across the Workspace by the same amount.

Dependencies are not rescheduled if:

  • The due date is moved to an earlier date.
  • The start date is updated.
