Relationships - Change Status

John Ebeling
This is a simple feature request. Using the old links, we were able to change the status of a linked task just by hovering the mouse over the task and clicking directly on the status. Would it be possible to do something similar with relationships? That ended up being very useful.
Also, it would be great if we could link multiple tasks at a time without having to press the plus button each time.

Similar use case here. We work on delivering software projects, and when we start a project we create a client folder and create a list. On the list are Deliverable Tasks (with dates) that could have subtasks on them, but they are the high level tasks we want to complete and track in the project.
We also like to work in Sprints, and we like to manually create and manage sprint tasks, maybe called 'Sprint 1', on the same list, with its subtasks on what should be completed in Sprint 1. We would like the ability to link a subtask under 'Sprint 1' to a Deliverable task, and be able to mirror or synchronize the subtask status with the Deliverable task, so when the Sprint 1 subtask status changes as we are working on it, the Deliverable Task changes as well, which allows us to avoid managing duplicate tasks.
A possible implementation of this might sound something like this:
Looking at the dependencies section, where you can link tasks that are 'blocking' or 'waiting on' this task. I think another option here would be very helpful, 'Synchronized' might be the name of the option. So if I create a Deliverable task, a Sprint 1 task, and a subtask under sprint 1 that I want linked to that deliverable task, I can have them 'Synchronized' so when I mark the subtask under Sprint 1 as 'Done', the Deliverable task is also marked as 'Done'

Changing relationship statuses like a normal task would be incredibly helpful!!! That would save us SO much time. Right now, we have to open the Relationship task, change the status, exit entirely out of that task, then reopen the previous task just to continue working.
It would make sense to treat tasks/subtasks like the Tasks/Subtasks on Multiple Lists feature. Meaning, we should be able to have subtasks under multiple tasks (even under tasks that are in different lists), and be able to change their status like any other task.
