Dear all,
I was wondering if there was a way to link the status of two tasks in an
agenda file (or even across multiple agenda files). Sometimes, a single
task (in my case, updating my CV) might be a useful step in two different
projects. If the tasks is marked DONE in one project (in one subtree), I
would like the other one to be marked DONE as well. Is it possible or even
implemented?
Cheers,
FC

There's an org-depend package in the contrib directory that's supposed
to do this, but I haven't looked at it before... Vanilla Org only does
dependencies within the same subtree.

Hi Eric,
Thank you, I will have a closer look at org-depend, although it seems to me
that it's more 'depend' in the sense of 'this task has to be done for this
other task to be doable'. But I only had a glimpse on the code.
Regards,
FC

IIRC, the TRIGGER property in org-depend.el allows you to change the
state of another tree when the current one is marked done. I imagine you
could use it to have a clone task in another tree that is TRIGGERed to
change to done when the other is.
Example
* Some tree
** TODO Update CV
:PROPERTIES:
:TRIGGER: cv-clone(DONE)
:END:
* Some other tree
** TODO Update CV clone
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: cv-clone
:END:
