In the Gantt module, you can convert a milestone to a Jira issue (and a [Jira issue to a milestone](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BGcDRAFT/pages/3538535294)). Milestones cannot be converted to Jira issues in bulk.

> 📝 - A Jira issue converted from a milestone will have the start and end dates the same as the date of the milestone it was converted from.
> 📝 - Only milestones that were created or converted from [basic tasks](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BGcDRAFT/pages/3538532066) can be converted to Jira issues.
