automatically complete the current sprint and start the next one

[Njcovich]

Hi everyone. I have a question. On Monday at 8 AM, I don't want to manually end the current sprint and start the next one. Right now, the old sprint ends, but the new one doesn't start automatically. What should I do?

Hello @Njcovich 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

What version of Jira Data Center are you using?

I found this documentation for automatically stopping and starting sprints:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/configuring-a-sprint-to-auto-start-and-auto-complete-1235848794.html

I recommend that you review the details of your configuration comparing that to the information in the document to make sure you have it configured correctly.

Since your sprints are automatically stopping, I would conclude that you have set the Auto stop/start option for each sprint you are creating.

Do you have a start date specified for every sprint?

Does the sprint that did not automatically start show the "auto managed" lozenge in the Backlog view?

Oh, thank you so much, I'll try.

Let us know how that turns out, or if you have more questions on this problem.

Ok!

It seems that our sprint creation interface is different and there is no "Start and end sprint automatically" checkbox.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.SprintService

import com.atlassian.greenhopper.model.sprint.SprintBuilder

import java.util.Date

def sprintService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SprintService.class)

def closedSprints = sprintService.findClosedSprints()*.sort { it.endDate }.reverse()

if (closedSprints.size() > 0) {

    def lastSprint = closedSprints.first()

    def numberPart = lastSprint.name =~ /(\d+)$/

    if (numberPart.matches()) {

        int nextNumber = Integer.parseInt(numberPart.group(1)) + 1

        def newSprintName = "Unity ${nextNumber}"

        def startDate = new Date()

        def endDate = startDate + 7 

        sprintService.createSprint(

            new SprintBuilder()

                    .name(newSprintName)

                    .startDate(startDate)

                    .endDate(endDate)

                    .build(),

            boardId // 1370 id board

        )

    }

}

Tell me what I'm doing wrong?

What version of Jira Data Center are you using? You can get that from the Help > About option. It also appears in the footer of many screens.

The documentation I linked was for the latest version - 11.3.

As for the code you showed, how are you trying to execute it and what is the result?
