I have an Epic with 5 Tasks. Each task must be completed in sequence. Task 1 has a dependency link 'earliest end is start of' to Task 2, and so on from 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and 4 to 5.
However, when looking at the timeline or the start dates of the successive tasks, nothing updates when a task is completed. E.g., if I set the status of Task 1 to done, nothing happens with Task 2: the start date doesn't change, nothing changes in the Timeline other than Task 1 turning green.
Do these types of dependencies actually do anything, or is managing all of the dates manual? Is additional automation required to actually shift things around automatically?
