It doesn't quite work that way. The whole issue here is that there is no way to uniformly do this via JIRA or BugZilla, as they don't quite have these sort of information fields, so this is an 'aside' to it. You have to add the tasks by clicking on the 'add/edit tasks' link at the top of the front page, and then they'll show up. You can of course link to a JIRA ticket inside the task.
