Excluding a task excludes any associated dependencies 
Category: Problem 
Applies to: Kivati Studio 

If a task or container is excluded from execution, any dependencies or chained properties associated with the task will also be excluded from execution.

Details

Excluding a task from execution also excludes any dependencies and/or chained properties associated with it.  For example, if a project contains three tasks, A, B, and C, with dependencies as follows:

A -> B -> C

Excluding task B will also remove the dependency that task C has on task B.  At this point, task C will have no dependency on task A and thus task A and C can execute in any order.

More Information

This behavior is by design.  In the example above, if task C must execute after task A, even when task B is excluded, consider adding a dependency on A from C.
