I had interpreted the question slightly differently. I had read into it this question: "I have several next actions in various, possibly unrelated, projects that cannot take place until after a single task is completed. How do I model that in OF?" It's problem I run into surprisingly frequently.

It's easy enough in OmniPlan or similar project management software to create dependencies between tasks. In OF, since no such dependency mechanism exists, I typically end up creating redundant next actions -- one for each project held up by the same next action. That workaround has obvious problems.

I could try the aforementioned solution (i.e. the "Power Washer Tasks" project) in some cases, except that that solution breaks as soon as this circumstance crops up more than once across different sets of projects.

Are there any clever workarounds I've missed? Am I the only one who runs into this problem?

Thanks, all.
