My Done Tasks alway appear again in the backog after spring has ended

[Sandor Farkas]

Hey Community, 

Since I started using Jira Sprints, my done tasks appear again in the backlog with status done. I would expect that they got archived and I don't have to see them again in my backlog. But for some reason they appear again and again in the backlog.

I have not changed anything in the workflow or columns settings.

But I also cannot find any option to decide what should happen with the done tasks after a sprint.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @Sandor Farkas ,

Can you share your board configuration/status mapping to columns?

As stated in that dialog window to complete the sprint, even if the work item is resolved and has a resolution set, Jira only hides items in statuses that are mapped to the last (rightmost) column. If your "Done" status is mapped to any other column, those items will always show up in the backlog view. 👈

Here are a couple of articles that might help:

• Troubleshoot: Resolved Issues in Jira Scrum Board Backlog 
• Done or resolved work items are shown as incomplete when closing sprints 

Side question - why is "Done" blue; meaning, why is it in the "In progress" category?

Cheers,
Tobi
