If the status of the work item is not Done and the work item was assigned to the current Sprint, up on closing the Sprint, the work item is automatically assigned to the next sprint. Is it possible to stop the auto sprint assignment for any other status in addition to Done status.

As part of our process, PO reviews can happen in subsequent sprints, so we want the sprint assignment to be stopped if the work items are in "PO Review" status. Is this achievable?

Hi Amarnathguddeti - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You will not be able to close out the current sprint if the uncompleted work item is not auto moved to the next sprint. It can't stay where it is and be able to close the sprint. However, if you map the PO Review status to the last column on your scrum board (along with Done) it will probably allow you to close the sprint and leave that work item in the same sprint.
