I have been unable to locate a way to enable the "Finish to Start Dependancy" on TASKS automatically.

We have certain processes that require "Finish to Start Dependancy" to ensure proper execution order and would like to enable "Finish to Start Dependancy" based on a Workflow for certain ticket types. 

 

I have been unable to locate either a Workflow automation, Scenario or Supervisor rule that would activate the Dependancy. 

 

Did I miss it somewhere or does it have to be activated manually for each ticket?

Hello ​@David Ernst, I recently asked the same question from Freshservice Support and they indicated there is currently no way to set this automatically. We have requested that they add it to workflow automators and the Freshservice API. Awaiting the feature to be developed.

Sorry for the disappointing news.

Take care!

      Yes please. Though I feel as if we have raised this idea before. I could be wrong though lol. Thanks ​@Kamakshi V

        Hello, folks.

        Can someone confirm it’s still on the go or already implemented?

        Thanks
