What should I use :Sub tasks or links (Child of)

Question

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to create WBS (work break down structure) to a project in Jira.

I would like to create hirrarchy between the tasks (like summary tasks and tasks in MS Project) in order to see the total estimate of a list of tasks. (for example 5 tasks with an individual estimate of 1d will be shown as 5d total)

What will serve my intention better? Using task and sub task relationship, or linking the tasks as "child of"?

Thanks a lot.

I have not installed one yet; I'm still reviewing the options.

Any experienced based recommendation?

So basically you are saying the plugin is configurable and I can determine how it will display certain features (links and dependencies)?

Is it configurable by code only or by the plugin preferences? (I guess it depends on the plugin right?)

Depends on plugin, yes :)  I am guessing you installed a thirdparty one for gantt charts.
