Predecessors - creating conditional workflow question

ProjectManagerIdaho

Probably Smartsheet 101 but seeking help nonetheless. I've already selected "Dependencies enabled" in the sheet settings. My goal is to restrict a column checkbox (called "Start [for a task]) from being selected unless the predecessor has been completed (a checkbox column called "Complete"). I'm not certain how to complete this dependency/conditional workflow. Any tips appreciated.

Hi @ProjectManagerIdaho

I hope you're well and safe!

You'd use Workflows combined with the lock/unlock row Actions.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
