tasks in the backlog for past sprints

[abalgatay]

Hi all. I have a task to see the dynamics of changes in tasks in the backlog from sprint to sprint. For example, look at what tasks were in the backlog for the last 6 sprints. How can this be obtained using jira rest api or jql?

Hi @abalgatay 

You would need to use a third-party plugin or create an automation to count the number of sprints so that you can report on it. An example is located here:
