Post-Create (POSTCRT) dependency

Post-create dependencies produce the same result as create new dependencies—upon completion of a task, an instance of another task is created—except that you create the dependency on the following task, rather than creating it on the prerequisite task.

You might use this approach when you need to create a dependency, but you don't want to create a revision of the prerequisite task definition. Since you can only add task dependencies to task definitions that are in build or revision status, post-create dependencies provide flexibility for you to do what's easiest.

In the following diagram, Task B has a post-create task dependency to Task A. When Task A is completed, Task B is initialized—an instance of the task is created.
