In the Gantt module, you can convert a single basic task to a Jira issue. Because the Jira issue requires you to fill in a specific set of fields, the conversion to the Jira issue cannot be carried out in [bulk](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPEdc/pages/2534999165). But you can convert one or several [Jira issues to milestones](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPEdc/pages/2534016040).

## Context menu

1. Right-click on a task or taskbar you want to convert to prompt the context menu.
