There are different ways in which you can add tasks using the Gantt module. You can add tasks one by one or add a group of tasks to the scope of the Box. When you use the Gantt's interface, besides adding Jira issues, you can also add Basic tasks which will only be displayed using the App.
...
For example: If the "Start Date" field is not synchronized or it is not added to the appropriate issues screen, when you add a task there will not be any update of the "Start Date" field. However, when the "Start Date" is synchronized, adding a task without setting the start date estimate will result in a task update, and the "Creation Date" will be used as the "Start Date" (the "Creation Date" will also be used as the "End Date" if the task is not resolved).
| Warning |
|---|
In the cloud version of the App, you cannot create a Jira sub-task on Gantt - this functionality works only for the Server version of the App. |
| Tip |
|---|
Make sure you have selected the correct Jira project. Otherwise, you might unintentionally create a task in the wrong place.
