Tasks: Add pre requisites/ task reliability
Allow tasks to have prerequisites or successors. (i.e. task A2 cannot be started until task A1 is completed. So, A2 remains in someday, until A2 is completed. Then prompt the user to schedule A2.) Similar to sub-tasks, but allows links between existing tasks.

Any.do allows tasks to be created, scheduled, shared then beautifully re-scheduled. Once a list of related tasks are complete it the product of the completed tasks forms the backbone of a project - but the growing set of structures that characterises a growing project is not recorded in Any.do.
For example: Any.do can wonderfully manage complex interrelated tasks that relate to the development a new customer relationship: emails, meetings, pricing, proposals, contracts, service delivery - and so forth.
The result of successfully completed tasks are the building blocks of project management and, unlike completed tasks, do not need deletion.
Any.do could have functionality that takes 'task outcomes' and enshrines them as project components.
These will lead to next-step tasks, which, when completed, will in turn suggest components of the project.
Navigation and structure needn't be different - but there would need to be variance in what gets deleted and how lists of project components nest and are linked. That would need some thought - but the Any.do structure would be a good starting place.
Good luck -

Some tasks are only required if we have accomplished primary tasks, For example, [Task] Pickup Laundry When I accomplish it, I also need to put some tasks like,
[Automated next Task]Confirm my wife that I've picked up laundry
Or
[Automated next Task] Collect Washables for laundry
Obviously, those automated tasks are useless until I complete primary task.

If a task can't be completed until something else is completed, allow a 'blocker' badge to be linked to that other task.

On web, when you update a task you have to click on X to get back to the main page. It would be more effective to have a "Next Task" option to open up and update the next one.

Very often there is a situation when I think about how to reach some goal I can clearly see 3-5 separate steps I should take.
What do I do now:
Option1: I create all those steps as separate tasks - it is not effective because I need to track all of them until the goal is reached.Option2: I create only nearest step task, but in this case, I often forget to create next step task once I've finished previous one, and also I don't want to think about next steps I need to take more than once.
So my suggestion is to add a feature when I can create a sequence of separate tasks, but until it is needed I will see only the top task in a stack in all lists. Next task is activated once the previous one is done. I'm asked to schedule next task once the previous one is done. Something like this would be great. Thank you.

allowing the linking of tasks or subtasks to grocery/shopping lists

There are no task managers with this feature. It's the missing killer feature for me.

For exmaple.
Complete Project
In order to complete project I need to take photos
In order to take photos I need to get lens fixed
In order to get lens fixed I need to cash a cheque to pay for it
i.e. a way to link taks so that th eprocess can be followed and various subtasks can be integrated in to calendar as tasks
so when one step is copleted you can be prompted regarding the next like a reminder to keep you on track
so this aloows you to plan 4-5 or as many steps ahead as possible rather than in a list which isnt alwyas as easy to interpret or follow
sorry for the weird exmaple given
hope that makes sense

What you need is a project planner. Let's keep Any.do simple.

For some lists I can't start the next task until i finish the first, for example I can't by cord until I have figured out what cord to by. For those examples I want the things to be hidden when I can't do them. It would be a great feature. I've seen it in other todoapps and like the feature.

For example. In order to fix my kitchen drawer I want to both buy drawer sliders and build a workbench lets say. If fixing the draw was dependent on buying drawer sliders and building a workbench it would stay in somday until those other 2 tasks were complete.

Sometimes, one task is input to another. In a project, task from different teams is correlated. Will be awesome if we can correlate tasks
