Dependency issue

I've suffered a lot with the depency setting with Zoho Projects.

Here is the story:

Our company needs to repeat several projects every month, so after creating a project and setting the dependency I've convert it into a template. But there's one thing doesn't fit the Zoho Projects dependency logic in our project which is: instead of one task begins right after the the task that depended on finished, some tasks should begin several days after the previous task is finished.

So, after converting the project to a template, I found all this type of tasks lost the right "start after" date in the template. I issued the problem in the forum and later told by the technic guy that Zoho Projects is like this.

OK, I can bear with it. I exported the correct task list, using spreadsheets to calculate the right "start after" days and manually correct them every time opening a new project based on the template.

But now it´s the WTF moment: SOMETIMES, In the created project, when I change the date of one task, among all the taks that depends on this task, only those tasks that begin right after this task will changed according to the new date. But the others that begin days after just keep the old date.

So, what should I do? To adapt my project to your dependency logic?

Tip: How to print the Gantt View
Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

Four types of task dependencies
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise

Task Inline Editing Enhancement
Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
