There is no concept of soft dependencies in TJ and there are no plans to add
it. If I understand you correctly you have really a situation like this:
task a1 "A1" {
}
task a2 "A2" {
}
task b "B" {
depends !a1
}
But you don't want to crowd your reports with A1/A2 instead of A. A possible
solution would be
task a "A" {
flag hideDetails
task a1 "A1" {
}
task a2 "A2" {
}
}
task b "B" {
depends !a.a1
}
htmltaskreport "foo.html" {
rolluptask hideDetails
}
This way you would have all the information in your project plan but your
reports still don't look too crowded. Of course it's a little bit of writing
work, but you might be able to use some macros.
