[SOLVED] Status actions on link activities

Hello,

I'm preparing a workflow for our activities and I was wondering if there is a possibility to link the change of the status of a given activity to the one of a linked activity.

I'm explaining myself a bit more in details:
We have two tighly linked activities - I'm working in the electronic industry and one of the activity is to do the design (schematic) and its layout.
The layout cannot start before part of the schematic is done - even if not newcessarily all, and the schematic cannot be considered as finalized if a feed-back from the layout is not done.

So I would like to know if the following is possible:

• Forbid to set the on-going on the layout before a given status on the linked schematic is reached
• Close the layout activity at the same moment the schematic is closed

Ideally it would be also dependent of the type of activity

Of course we can enforce the rule on the process, but enforcing on the tool is always easier to make it work

Thanks

OK, understood.
We will put this requirement on the process itself.

Thank you for your swift answer.
