I'm assuming

1. Each task is tied to some central record

2. That a task history is kept for that central record

Then you could do something like this:

choose(
  wherecontains(
    ri!taskType,
    {
      "A",
      "B",
      "C",
      "D",
      "E",
      "F",
      "G"
      
    }
  ),
  /*"A",*/
  now() + 5,
  /*"B",*/
  now() + 5,
  /*"C",*/
  if(
    contains(
      ri!taskHistory,
      "A"
    ),
    now() + 7,
    null
  ),
  /*"D",*/
  if(
    and(
      contains(
        ri!taskHistory,
        "A"
      ),
      contains(
        ri!taskHistory,
        "B"
      )
    ),
    now() + 3,
    null
  ),
  /*"E",*/
  if(
    contains(
      ri!taskHistory,
      "D"
    ),
    now() + 5,
    null
  ),
  /*"F",*/
  if(
    contains(
      ri!taskHistory,
      "D"
    ),
    now() + 10,
    null
  ),
  /*"G"*/
  if(
    contains(
      ri!taskHistory,
      "F"
    ),
    now() + 7,
    null
  )
)

Basically, pass in the Task Type (A, B, C, D etc) of the current task, along with the task history.

For tasks that have precedents, check to see if the task history contains the relevant precedents.

Hope this helps.
