Why can't I mark my task complete?

A task can’t be completed while it has unfinished sub-tasks or another open task is blocking it. WorkHub shows “Cannot complete: blocking tasks are not all completed” when this happens.

Steps

  1. Open the task and click the Related tab.
  2. Check Blocking This Task and Sub-tasks (Auto-blocking). Every task listed there must be Completed first.
  3. Complete those tasks, or remove the blocking link with the X if it no longer applies.
  4. Go back to the task and set its status to Completed again.

Good to know

  • On the task page, the status button may briefly show Completed even though the change was refused. Reload the page to see the real status.
  • In bulk updates, blocked tasks are skipped and listed as “blocked by open dependencies”.
  • If none of the buttons respond and you see “Your account is read-only”, your account has the Viewer role.
  • Completing a repeating task automatically creates its next occurrence.
