Auto-update task status or priority when predecessor is completed?

Jay Vegso

I am looking for some way of having Smartsheet automatically change a column on a task once a task that it is dependent on has been completed. This is so that I can see what new tasks need to be worked on. For example, task B is dependent on task A. Once I have flagged task A as complete, then task B automatically gets flagged for me to work on next.

I found that if you use the formula below then it gets me most of what I want. You place the formula in your priority column and reference a keyword in another cell. 

=IF(Status12 = "Complete", "1priority")

 

Ideally, however, it would be able to look to see the status of a task that is referenced in the predecessors column.
