resolved subtasks are still being rolled to the next sprint

Yael Dvorin August 4, 2020

Hey!

I created a separate workflow for subtasks and had there a different last status than the tasks/bugs workflow (done instead of closed).

I made it of course that once a subtask is done, the resolution changes to resolved. Nonetheless, when I want to close my sprint it won't let me because it says i still have open subtasks (which is not true), and also these subtasks are getting rolled to the next sprint...

Would appreciate your help.

What should I do?

Sub tasks do not move between sprints themselves.  They are in a sprint when their parent story is in the sprint.  Their own status is irrelevant at determining what sprint they are in.

"Done" subtasks will move into the next sprint if their parent is open, because they are a part of it, but the sub-task will remain done.

The warning message about sub-tasks is probably status based.  When the board is considering whether an issue (of any type) is open or done, it looks at the status and then the column the status is in.  An issue is only "done" when its current status is in the last column of the board.

My best guess is that you have something like:

Story workflow:  To do -> In Progress -> Done

Sub-task flow: Open -> Developing -> Closed

But your board does not have Done and Closed status in the last column.
