Dear all,
I have read the manual and searched the list archives but not found an
answer to this - so apologies if it was in fact covered somewhere.
I make use of the variable org-enforce-todo-dependencies along with the
:ORDERED: property to have sequentially limited TODO lists.
However I found when experimenting with custom TODO keywords that once they
were enabled, the blocking functionality did not work. I was able to change
any of my TODO headers to "DONE", regardless of the state of the TODO item
immediately preceding them.
Is there a way these two functions can work together? I would appreciate
any guidance.
Thanks and regards,
Edmund Potts

Sorry for the late reply. Hope it is still relevant.
ORDERED + org-enforce-todo-depenencies should work with custom TODO
keywords as long as you properly define which keywords mean that a task
is 'done and which keywords mean the opposite.
org-todo-keywords:
Each sequence starts with a symbol, either sequence or type,
indicating if the keywords should be interpreted as a sequence of
action steps, or as different types of TODO items. The first
keywords are states requiring action - these states will select a headline
for inclusion into the global TODO list Org produces. If one of the
"keywords" is the vertical bar, "|", the remaining keywords
signify that no further action is necessary. If "|" is not found,
the last keyword is treated as the only DONE state of the sequence.
Best,
Ihor
