Start a Task Once Another Task is Complete

Dan	Posted: Jul 15, 2009 Score: 0 Is there a way to start a task once another task is complete? I tried the ? variable, but couldn't get it to work the way I want. As an example of what I'm trying to achieve, say I have two tasks - buying groceries and cooking dinner. I can't cook dinner until I have the groceries bought. This is a very simple example, but hopefully you get the idea. Is there a way to set up a task so that it is dependent upon the completion of another task? Thanks!

If you don't have a Pro account you could use tags or something else, but with subtasks it is harder to miss something.
