Cross Project Predecessors should update successor task on change

Hi all,

Thank you for submitting the idea and upvoting for it.

After careful consideration and investigation of the impact the change will have on the overall system performance, we decided that it's not feasible to introduce the change at this point. We will re-visit this from time to time to understand if we are able to introduce the change.

I apologise for the inconvenience this is causing on your side.

Kind regards,

Anna Asatryan,

Product Manager, Workfront

Original request

A task has a [recently completed] cross project predecessor (a predecessor task in another project), and is not "ready to start" in the My Work area until the overnight calculation has taken place or until the project timeline is manually recalculated.

My users are a little agitated because those who use the My Work area would like to see their work update immediately rather than the next day. (Workers who use dashboards or rely on emails are of course unaffected, because those two types of notifications are instantaneous)

Workfront support indicates that apparently it's normal to have to manually recalculate a timeline but since we complete over 2000 projects a year, and PMs cannot always track when someone has finished a task in order to recalculate a project timeline, it seems a little ridiculous to expect any sort of manual update/recalc.
