How to synchronize the start and end dates of WBS Gantt and Jira issues

문정만_FORBIZ_PM

Hello.

Is there a way to apply the start date and finish date set in the Gantt chart as the start date and due date of the Jira issue?

I would like to be able to see in Jira's issue list and timeline with a schedule synchronized with the Gantt chart.

Good luck.

Hello,

Yes, you can use Jira field instead of app's own data. Here are the steps.

Use Jira data instead of app’s own data.

1. Go to Jira Settings > Apps > WBS GANTT-CHART > Issue > Click “Edit” at the upper right corner.
2. Fields > Choose “Use Jira field”
   
   
3. Select Jira field for all fields. If you don’t have any fields, then you can create them by choosing (Create new custom field).
   
4. Click “Update” The fields that will be created are below.

 

Field Option	The field name will be created in Jira	Custom field type
Start date field	Start date (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Date Picker
Finish date field	Finish date (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Date Picker
Baseline start date field	Baseline start date (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Date Picker
Baseline finish date field	Baseline finish date (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Date Picker
Percent done field	Percent done (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Number Field
Units field	Units (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Number Field
Manually scheduled field	Manually scheduled (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Radio Buttons
Milestone field	Milestone (WBS Gantt-Chart)	Radio Buttons

 

If you have already entered data in WBS Gantt-Chart’s own fields, you can convert the data to Jira data. For more details, please read the following document.
