How to change the link settings between issues
Since version 1.1.15-AC, Jira issue links can be used to create hierarchy and dependency relationships.
If you select "(Use original data)", hierarchy and dependency relationships are saved as unique data for the App, just as they were up to version 1.1.14-AC.
When you update by selecting "(Create new issue link type)", a new issue link type for WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira will be created and the issue link type will be selected.
How to change the maximum number of displayable issues
If the number of issues displayed is too large, WBS Gantt-Chart may not function properly. You should set a number for the maximum number of issues to be displayed.
Update the maximum number of displayable issues in the field and click Save. Enter '0' for an unlimited number.
