Can a milestone task be closed based on completion of an approval task?

DoraExplorer

In each of my parent group of tasks I have an approval task, followed by a milestone task. Both are important for reporting.

Example:

Task1: Manager approves ABC Webpage for publishing

Task2: Milestone: ABC Webpage ready for publishing -

Predecessor for Task2 is Task1.

Problem: When Task1 is marked Complete, I want Task2 to automatically mark Complete as well.

Task2 required no implementation, it is for reporting of Milestones only.

Are you using a check box or a symbol to show progress? If using the filled bar symbol, a formula like

=IF(Task1 = "Full", "Full", "") in the symbol block of Task 2 where Task1 points to the symbol block for Task 1 (not sure what your column header is).

If you are using check boxes, you can use

=IF(Task1 = 1, 1, 0) with the same edits as above.
