  title: Asana Create Dependent Tasks
  summary: Create a blocking task and a dependent task, then wire the dependency between them.
  description: >-
    A sequencing flow. The workflow creates a blocking task and a dependent task
    in the same workspace, then declares the dependent task as blocked by the
    blocking task using the dependencies endpoint. Each request is written inline
    so the sequencing can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description. The dependency endpoint lives only in the full Asana
    description, so every step is addressed through that single source.
