[Feature Request] Support RELTYPE=DEPENDS-ON #3188

Description

@PeonyThePeon

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Failing to account for task dependencies can lead people to tackle projects in very inefficient ways.

However, there is currently no clear/obvious/standard way to indicate task dependencies in NextCloud Tasks.

This makes project planning difficult, especially in teams (or families).

Describe the solution you'd like

By supporting the RELTYPE=DEPENDS-ON parameter from RFC 9253, NextCloud Tasks would become a significantly more usable platform for planning projects. Explicit task dependencies explicit would let Nextcloud Tasks do new and useful things automatically, e.g.:

  • let users filter tasks by which ones are not currently blocked (i.e. are available for progress), or vice versa
  • perform critical path analysis
  • generate Gantt charts
  • integrate better with project planning tools such as OpenProject.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No other approaches would be standards-compliant and inter-operable.
