I am creating tasks in JIRA-synced Forecast project but they are not appearing in JIRA, why?

Question

I am creating tasks in a Forecast project that is synced with JIRA but the tasks are not appearing in JIRA. Why?

Answer

Tasks created in Forecast do not automatically sync to JIRA providing user control over which Forecast tasks appear in the synced JIRA project. If a Forecast task should appear in the synced JIRA project, the user must use Move to JIRA once the task is created. 

To learn more on moving Forecast tasks to JIRA see, Synchronizing existing Forecast tasks and phases with JIRA (Move to JIRA).
