Within one epic story there's an issue opened during sprint 1. how can i extend this issue to other sprints (say 2,3,4) without moving or removing it from the previous?

One of my groups is in a similar boat. They would like to keep a ticket in the old sprint to count the work that was done for the old sprint, but since the whole thing wasn't completed it needs to be the next sprint too.

My workaround to was to create a transition the that is essentially 'Move it to the next sprint!'. It creates a duplicate for the new sprint, and 'resolves' the original so that points can be counted for each sprint. The original is marked in such a way that we know it was punted.

This is not correct a SCRUM/Agile methodology( so Jira didn't design for this), but its how my team likes it 

*edit: spelling

If there is still work to be done on that Story, when you close out the current Sprint, the Story will roll over to the next Sprint you start; as long as the status is not "Done"

HI @Erick Villalobos ,

An issue can only be assigned to one active sprint or future sprint. This means you can't add an issue to both an active sprint and a future sprint at the same time.

Please refer below link for more details
