Lack of automatic due date shifting for dependent tasks
The current dependencies feature is incomplete because it does not automatically shift subsequent task dates when a preceding task slips. This forces users to manually update schedules or consider switching to competitors like Smartsheet that support lead-time based dependencies.

If I have 3 subsequent serial tasks that each take a day and the first one slips one day, all of the others should slip by 1 day.
I feel like auto shifting dates is a standard feature along with due date based on lead times.
I guess we willlook into smart sheets or other software that know has this capability.
