Circular Dependency error
Hello,
I am getting a "Circular dependency" error when assigning a dependency, but I cannot find any circular dependencies, in fact I've just started adding the dependencies. Below is the part of the sheet where I'm having difficulty. When I try to add "199" in the depency column of any of the rows 201-204, I get the circular dependency error.
Row Task Name
197 -Assembly
198 -Preliminary Design
199 Solid Model (Part(s) & Assembly)
200 -Engineering Analysis
201 FMEA
202 Flows
203 Performance
204 Structural

Hi David,
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Have a fantastic week!

Hi David,
I had that issue rise up yesterday afternoon for about an hour. I ended up signing out and signing back in. Then deleting the dependency and retyping it in and it stuck. Smarthsheet must be dinkering with the system.

What is your dependencies for row 199? Finding a circular dependency (if there really is one) can be a bit of a pain, especially when you start factoring parent and child rows.

I found the problem. Apparently, I can't follow a row across to the row number. Even after checking for that error.
-
It's a good idea to keep a straight edge at your desk to help with that process.
I'm speaking from experience.

Great to hear you solved it!

I usually just wing it. No ruler? I'm sure there's a piece of computer paper nearby. Notebook. Notepad.
I once had a row of sticky notes on my screen. HAHAHAHAHA
Glad you got it sorted.
