+# Detect Circular Reference in Task Dependencies
+
+
+
+## Overview
+
+This Script Include helps identify **circular dependencies** in task relationships within ServiceNow. Circular references can cause workflow issues, reporting errors, and logic failures in project management or task tracking modules.
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Traverses task dependencies recursively.
+- Detects if a task is indirectly dependent on itself.
+- Returns `true` if a circular reference is found, `false` otherwise.
+
+## Use Case
+
+Imagine Task A depends on Task B, and Task B depends on Task A. This creates a circular loop that can break automation or cause infinite recursion. This script helps prevent such configurations.
+
+Tables and modules it would be usefull
+It is used for Table: planned_task_rel_planned_task
+This table is used to define task dependencies between project tasks in ServiceNow's Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) or Project Portfolio Management (PPM) modules. It stores relationships such as:
+
+Predecessor Task
+Successor Task
+Dependency Type (e.g., Finish-to-Start)
+
+
