There are two types of tasks that can be added to the chart:
Jira tasks
Internal (non-Jira) tasks.
To create and add a task to the chart, click the “Plus“ button located at the top chart toolbar:
 |
Jira tasks
A user can create a Jira task directly via the Gantt Suite interface by clicking the + button and selecting the Create Jira task option.
 |
You can also use the Jira Create button to add new tasks (1). Once desired tasks are created, refresh the chart using the chart refresh button (2), or simply reload the chart page.
We do recommend to use the first option as it is quicker and offers additional features along with adding a task to the chart.
Internal tasks
Users are now able to create non-Jira tasks that are contained within a chart and are not saved in Jira.

Summary is the only required field for internal tasks. If you would like an internal task to be displayed on the timeline, please provide a value for the Start date field.
