Dependency date shifting fails in My Tasks and across projects
Changing due dates from the 'My Tasks' tab does not trigger updates for downstream dependencies, unlike changes made within projects. Additionally, dependency date shifting does not work across different projects, which disrupts complex workflows and cross-project collaboration.

when I change a due date from “My Tasks”, no dependent tasks are affected.
Changes to due dates on tasks with dependencies across different projects should update due dates of dependent tasks in all projects
It does not really make sense that a task can be dependent on another task, but that does not affect the due date of that task. This really kills the ability to use the asana for complex workflows.
My team uses My Tasks to manage our workloads across projects and it’s messing up our projects to not have this feature.
