How is org-enforce-todo-dependencies supposed to work?

[Robert Nikander]

Hi,

I’m trying to use todo dependencies.  I created the following tree, and set the variable to `t` by evaluating the setq expression. But nothing changes. I can use S-<RIGHT> to cycle the TODO state of “Test Project" (none - TODO - DONE) even though the children items are not DONE. Is that expected?

** TODO Test Project
:PROPERTIES:
:ORDERED: t
:END:
Test org-enforce-todo-dependencies. (setq org-enforce-todo-dependencies t)
*** DONE One
*** TODO Two
*** TODO Three

thanks,
Rob

(org-version) => 9.6.1
(emacs-version) => GNU Emacs 28.2

This variable is supposed to be set via customization interface or via
setopt/custom-set-variables. Or before loading Org.
