move dependencies

[yfdoor]

Just started using this great project, but when using 'Auto Move', I found a problem that was not what I expected. Not sure if this feature is supported or if there is a problem with my configuration?

Setup:

move_dependencies: true,
        {
            id: 'task1',
            name: 'task1',
            start: '2024-07-21',
            end: '2024-07-23',
            progress: 40,
        },
        {
            id: 'task2',
            name: 'task2',
            start: '2024-07-23',
            end: '2024-07-25',
            progress: 30,
            dependencies: ['task1'],
        },
        {
            id: 'task3',
            name: 'task3',
            start: '2024-07-26',
            end: '2024-07-28',
            progress: 10,
            dependencies: ['task2'],
        },

Before dragging

After dragging (change task1 end date from 23 to 26)

The style to look forward to (hope task2 start date auto change from 23 to 26)

This behaviour is covered in PR #535.

If you set the option maintain_dependency_position to true, then changing the end date of task1 will move task 2 and 3 as you expect. There is also an additional option move_precendences, which makes precendent tasks move with changes to dependent tasks. For example, if you changed the start date of task2, then task 1 would move by the same amount.
