how do I modify sprint end date

[Johnny Nielsen]

I have created 100 issues in start May. They are linked to varied projects. After that i created a Kanban board, showing the search filter for my issues. I found out, that a Scrum board would have more report options. Therefore I created a Scrum board using the same filter and afterwards created a sprint with all issues. But when I create a report like the Burndown Chart, it seems like all issues has been added today. I've tried to set sprint start date to May 1. But the result remains the same. Is there any way I can change the date for issue added sprint? 

Best regards

Welcome to the community @Johnny Nielsen!

With JIRA Software sprints are always connected to a specific scrum board. So If you configure a separate Scrum board to show this issues and create a sprint within this board you're basically adding a new sprint to the "sprints" field of these issues. This is why the burndown chart of this board shows the issues as added today. As far as I know JIRAs UI doesn't give you the opportunity to change the "added to sprint date".

Have you tied analyzing your issues based on versions by using a version report? Maybe this can give you the expected overview.

Hi Andreas

Thank you for replying. Version report unfortunately does not show me what I need. I need a report based on my search filter - the same filter used for my board. As I see it, Version report only allow you to see a report on single projects. And my filter has more projects in it. ..

Can you provide a bit more detail on what your report should contain?

In general there's now way you can "stage" a burndown chart if the sprint wasn't set up by the board in the first place.

My problem is, that I did not set op the sprint in the first place. And what I hoped for was, that there was a workaround - setting up a sprint "back in time". But now I know... I hav to set up a sprint on day one :-)
