Prevent closing tasks that are "waiting on" others

It looks like nothing changes from a functionality standpoint when a dependency is set. You can still change that "blocked" task's status and track time working on it. Right now it seems that the dependencies option acts as a visual cue, but I'd like to change that so you cannot close a task that is "waiting on" another

It would be good to set an option (as Admin) to make certain dependencies a 'stop' point, rather than warning only. To prevent people closing tasks off without completing certain sub activities &/or checklists. Currently it can be easily ignored by clicking the resolve all button.

Tarun Masani My suggestion as merged above was a little bit different. It was more on users defining when the warning pops up. Right now, it warns when the "waiting on" task is Closed. My suggestion was what if I can set it to not warn on Closed, maybe for us it would be "Completed" or "In Review".

Hey there everyone. This should be the case if you have the Dependency warning ClickApp enabled on your Space. Let me know if that's not the case or if I am missing something here. :)

Isn't this already implemented? It's the new Dependency Warning clickapp, https://docs.clickup.com/features/dependency-warning-clickapp
Of course, that app only "warns" you when you try to close a task that's still waiting on others, but doesn't outright "stop" you from closing the task... but still, having that big warning screen pop up should be enough to stop the person from following through with closing the task when it's still waiting on others.

This is how we also anticipated it to work - that you cannot close a task if it is blocked by another.

Dependencies right now doesn't make a lot of sense

I was hoping that dependencies work this way:
The blocked task cannot change any custom status as long as the waited on task is closed or we can specify a specific status
