As a followup, within a section, the :depends: attribute is being
correctly resolved, even though naming is incorrect. I've taken to
giving each area a single letter task_id, such as:

#+begin_org
* Project
** Technical
   :PROPERTIES:
   :TASK_ID:  T
   :END:
*** Sub task
    :PROPERTIES:
    :task_id:  T1
    :END:
*** Sub task2
*** Sub task
    :PROPERTIES:
    :task_id:  T2
    :depends: T1
    :END:

#+end_org

That's resolving deps correctly, but not naming correctly:

#+begin_tjp

  task sub "Sub task" {
    milestone
  }
  task sub_task2 "Sub task2" {
    depends !sub
    milestone

#+end_tjp

The problem with this is when depending on something outside of that
particular subtask; the TJ syntax is to use =!= as the equivalent to a
period with respect to directories. So to refer to a task in another
bucket, you need to do something like =:depends: !!M.M1= to refer to
the Milestone bucket (task_id = M), subtask M1 task.

This isn't working with Org taskjuggler export. Not being able to name
task is a huge inconvenience, as one has to use Org's unique-id naming
function, which I'd prefer not to do. It's easier (at least for me) to
just unfold all the property drawers and refer to things by their two
character id. I also tagged each top headline with it's letter bucket
":T:" so that I can just count the item order in the list for it's
resulting subtask id (e.g. "T2").


Best regards,
John
