Hi -- I'm eager to use the TODO dependencies feature, but I can't make it work. In my usual set-up, I (think I) have it set up correctly. (C-h C-v indicates that org-enforce-todo-dependencies is set to t.) However, the dependency simply isn't enforced. Nor is the "ordered" dependency enforced.
I understand that it's likely a problem in my set-up, but I don't know where to check. However, after hours (literally -- yes, I'm a slow learner), I discovered what I hope is a clue to someone more knowledgeable than I. Given this simple test file: ++++++++++++++++++++ #+ARCHIVE: archive_cndls.org::* Finished Tasks and Projects #+SEQ_TODO: TODO STARTED DELEGATED AGENDA WATCH READ APPT | DONE \ DEFERRED CANCELED WAITING MAYBE #+TAGS: Placeholder(p) ATProgram(A) FacProgramming(F) ULI(U)Grants(G)\ Consultations (C) Supervisions(S) Misc(M) Teaching(T) ExCo(E) #+STARTUP: lognotestate #+Category: CNDLS #+ARCHIVE: archive_cndls.org:: #+LaTeX_CLASS: report # Time-stamp: <2009-02-01 11:26:41 jrake> * TODO Main task :PROPERTIES: :ORDERED: t :END: ** TODO Subtask 1 ** TODO Subtask 2 +++++++++++++++++++++ Dependencies work in one instance (#2 below), but they don't work in instances 1 and 3 -- 1. If I start emacs/org-mode with a minimal configuration and then open this file, dependencies still don't work. 2. If I start emacs/org-mode with a minimal configuration, open this file, then delete the header line beginning "#+SEQ_TODO" and refresh the settings, dependencies work. 3. If I start emacs/org-mode with my usual configuration, dependencies still don't work in this simple test file, even if I delete the SEQ_TODO line in its header. I set up my TODO list in each file, and there's no general set-up for these in my ordinary configuration. Any clues where else I should look?
