"task b" starts when "task a" is marked as DONE?

"task b" starts when "task a" is marked as DONE?

How can I have a task start when a primary task ends. I mean like this -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* TODO task a - fill the rubbish bag
* TODO task b - put rubbish bag into the bin outside.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So in this case "task b" starts when "task a" is marked as DONE.

Is it possible for this to occur please?

Thanks
Sharon.

what do you mean by "start"? Are you talking about clocking,
about TODO states, about something else?

default org has info "(org) TODO dependencies" for blocking.

you can also use hooks or org-depend to change state when you doneify.

i think the one missing feature is the ability to put scheduled [in
addition to changing state on] a remote task when a task is done.  not
sure why this is missing.  perhaps that's wrong and it is possible.

When the TODO status changes to DONE, clocking can then autostart on
task b.

Thanks
