BigPicture: show warning when end to start dependecy can not be met?

Question

I have some end to start dependencies in BigPicture. Sometimes the target item is scheduled before the end of the source item. Meaning we can not meet the end to start dependency. This can happen when a target item has a hard start date and the source item has been delayed.

Is there any possibility to highlight items in such a situation in BigPicture? I'm looking for a view similar to overdue tasks in the info bar but for dependency issues like described above.

It would also be nice to show those items in a different color on the gantt like we have for critical path and overdue.

Hi @Charlie Misonne

Actually, we do have a Feature Request open for it - ONE-7068 (you will probably need to open it in the incognito mode of your browser).

Please bear in mind, though, that its current status is 'Gathering Interest', meaning that we are:

* evaluating the business value of such an improvement;
* figuring out the possible ways of developing this and estimating their technical complexity.

Depending on the outcome of our analysis and the number of customers requiring such a feature, we will decide whether to proceed with implementing this feature or not. Nonetheless, I encourage you to keep track of this Feature Request to be up to date with the progress on it.

I hope that this is satisfactory.

Best regards,

Thanks for the quick reply Mateusz!

The reason why I'm asking this is such items can be easily missed out at the moment. Gaining some visibility about them would be great :-)

Hi @Charlie Misonne

At the moment, there is no way of highlighting such scenarios.

Please let me discuss this matter with our Product Management in order to confirm whether we plan any improvements regarding this matter. I will post the feedback here as soon as I receive more details.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,
