!# Status transition rules (aka project workflow)
Task statuses are a key feature in the PluginGanttChart. 

Try to close some tasks (change status to “completed”); you will see how dependent tasks/children will change their status according to the following rules:

*    __any status-> STATUS_DONE__:  may activate dependent tasks, both suspended and undefined. Will set to done all descendants.
*    __STATUS_FAILED -> STATUS_DONE__:  do nothing if not forced by hand.
*    __STATUS_UNDEFINED -> STATUS_ACTIVE__: all children become active, if they have no dependencies.
*    __STATUS_SUSPENDED -> STATUS_ACTIVE__ : sets to active all children and their descendants that have no inhibiting dependencies.
*    __STATUS_DONE -> STATUS_ACTIVE__: all those that have dependencies must be set to suspended.
*    __STATUS_FAILED -> STATUS_ACTIVE__: nothing happens: child statuses must be reset by hand.
*    __any status-> STATUS_SUSPENDED__: all active children and their active descendants become suspended. when not failed or forced
*    __any status-> STATUS_UNDEFINED__: all active children and their active descendants become suspended. when not failed or forced.
*    __any status-> STATUS_FAILED__: children and dependants are set to failed.
