How can I show short tasks (less than 8 hours) in a JIRA Gantt chart?

Question

I recently installed a few apps (like BigPicture) which help you see the order of work of each programmer. The problem is that when I link some tasks with estimates less than one work day, the Gantt chart presents this task as a job that estimates one day.

How can I get the JIRA Gantt chart to show tasks of less than 8 hours?

Maybe it is to be a setting? I never seen this before - MSProject does not to be padding the tasks to days. — Issy Forst, Jan 08 '19 at 13:40
@tiagoperes The target question is related, but it's a different question than what the OP is asking. Linking it is good, but it doesn't appear to be a valid duplicate to me. Kudos for looking for duplicates, though! — Todd A. Jacobs, Jan 08 '19 at 16:40
OP - are you trying to show dependency management? If so, there are more effective ways of doing that in Jira that we can show you. — Venture2099, Jan 18 '19 at 12:25
@Venture2099 With these logical cues, I will have the ability to show when each task is expected to begin or end. — Eitan, Jan 23 '19 at 13:28
I think it's a limitation on BigPicture and that it can't show tasks of less than a day. Maybe you could link those tasks without scheduling them automatically (i.e., keep the link end-to-start but have both tasks on the same day), if that is acceptable to you? — benoitauger, Oct 29 '19 at 07:39

The gantt charts like the one you use are not prepared to show that detail level for a reason, and is because it's a planning tool, and you don't make plans to say what are you going to do within a day, but to know if you are going to meet a deadline 3 months from today

This does not answer the question. I empathise with the sentiment. – Venture2099 Jan 18 '19 at 12:24

Unfortunately, your answer is totally wrong.

You CAN make plans to say what you are going to do within a day in some projects. It's naïve to expect that every task for a project is going to have a minimum duration of one day, and it's inefficient to plan a whole day for something that can be completed in considerably less time.
