FAQs

You can use either default work item links or custom work item links to set up dependency mappings in the GanttTable.

You can use date-type fields—either default or custom fields—to map the Start Date and End Date boxes in GanttTable to Jira date fields.

Dependency mappings allow you to track and store relationships between issues directly within each issue’s details. This makes it easier to visualize how tasks are connected—for example, which task must be completed before another can begin.

When you map dependencies, the Gantt chart can automatically display arrows between linked tasks, helping teams identify potential scheduling conflicts, delays, or dependencies that affect the overall timeline.

Yes, you can create a custom hierarchy using Jira issue links by building your own custom structure.

Not yet. Currently, our development team is implementing support for non-working days. 

Holiday support is planned for a future update.

To create this structure, you need to build a Custom structure in GanttTable by using:

• "Group by Sprint" (or "Group by FixVersion")

• And selecting the "Jira hierarchy" structure.

To reflect the correct Jira hierarchy, you must explicitly link:

• Story items as children of Epic items

• Subtask items as children of Story/Task/Bug items

There are two ways to set up these relationships:

Option 1: Link issues via the “Parent” column in GanttTable

1. Click the “Add column” button in the GanttTable view and add the Parent field.

2. For each Story/Task/Bug issue you want to link, search for the Epic by its issue key or summary and set it as the parent.
   (You can also use this method to link Subtask issues to their parent Story/Task/Bug issues.)
   See the image below for reference.

Option 2: Link issues using the Jira issue details dialog

1. Open the issue details dialog for the Epic (or for a Story/Task/Bug issue, if adding a Subtask).

2. Click the “Add” button below the issue summary.

3. Choose “Child work item.”

4. Add the desired Story/Task/Bug issues for the Epic, or add Subtask issues for a Story/Task/Bug issue.

5. Reload the GanttTable to reflect the updated structure.

No. Currently, GanttTable treats Jira hierarchy and Custom hierarchy as two separate modes, and they CANNOT be combined in a single structure.

• Jira hierarchy refers to the default parent–child relationships in Jira, such as Epic → Story/Task/Bug → Subtask. To display this structure in GanttTable, the issues must follow these built-in relationships. This is automatically recognized when you select “Jira hierarchy” as your structure type.

• Custom hierarchy, on the other hand, uses issue link types (e.g., blocks, relates to, is blocked by) to build parent–child relationships between issues. When creating a Custom structure in GanttTable, you can define which link type should represent this relationship. Only the relationships based on the selected link type will be displayed as a tree in the table.

Please Note

If you choose Custom hierarchy, the default Jira hierarchy will no longer be applied in the structure, and vice versa.
