Ability to report on multiple predecessors

Description - Ability to report on tasks only when all dependent predecessors have been marked as complete; otherwise, the report should not show that task as something that's ready to be worked upon.

Why is this feature important to you - Our teams heavily depend on previous task completion to begin the next work. With that there is a lot of time that would be spent manually on going through all tasks to see what is ready.

How would you like the feature to work - If I look at a task report

Current Behaviour - tasks shows even if one of the predecessor is marked as complete and the task actually has more than one predecessor. Only when all predecessors tagged on that task are complete, then show me the data. Copy of the report I created while working with Adobe ticket assistance and we didnt achieve what was needed.

There is already a field that you can leverage in Workfront for this. It's called "Can Start" if the predecessors are complete then the value will be True. If the predecessors are not complete the value will be False.
