Rollup dates on epic not expanding to include future dated sprints on Jira Plans

[Navil Narayan]

As per screenshot.

I have child items allocated to future sprints. I expect the epic to reflect that in its rolled up date, but it doesn't:

It appears to work as expected when looking at the timeline on the board itself.

Also, any idea why I can't select and change sprints in the timeline view (drag and drop) from Plans, like I can from the board timeline? This feels like a backward step to me.

Hi @Navil Narayan 

You are correct, this is also visible in the plan, as the dates in the Epic are set and not based on roll-up.

Epic should never be added to a sprint.

This is expected in Jira Plans. Epic roll-up dates don’t always extend based on future sprints, even if child issues are assigned there—those dates show more reliably on the board timeline.

Drag-and-drop sprint changes aren’t supported in Plans by design; sprint assignment is meant to be done from the backlog or board, not the Plans timeline.

So i think I worked it out. Looks like the epic was assigned to a sprint, that is now completed.

I can't figure out how to remove the historical (closed) sprint that it was assigned to in the past. I think that might be preventing the roll up of the child items sprint dates.
