Started a Sprint which suddently shows up in two boards

Felix Woess

Dear Jira Community,

I have recently started a sprint in Jira in a board and suddently this sprint shows up in a second board (where it shouldn't be).

I have read that a sprint will be displayed in a board under one of the two conditions:

it was created in that board (this can be checked in the database, in the RAPID_VIEW_ID column in the "AO_60DB71_SPRINT" table);
issues included in the board are associated with the sprint

I can exclude point 1 because I know I created and started the sprint in the "correct" board

I don't know how to check point 2 though? I am almost 99% sure that in the started sprint there are only topics from the correct board and nothing has been moved between the 2 boards.

How can I fix this problem? I need to get rid of that second open sprint in the board.

Do I have to close the sprint which is accidently showing up in the wrong board and move all the stories etc. to a new sprint and immediately re-start it?

I hope you can help me!

Best regards

Felix

Felix - You can adjust the boards filters to show only what you want it to. Learn more here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/configuring-filters-764477988.html

Hi @Brant Schroeder,

so you think its a filter problem?

Can I simply "filter" the sprint and it will dissappear from the wrong board?

Brant Schroeder

Each board has it's own filter. I would start there on the board that the sprint is showing in that it should not.

Hi Felix,

Perhaps this article might help you:

Hi @[deleted],

I have checked the sprints and they share the same ID.

My sprint only has issues from the correct board, there is no mix up.

The sprint which is shown in the wrong board should disappear. The article you linked for me gives two opportunities how to do this.

"If there should only be one Sprint, remove the none relevant Issues to the Sprint by emptying their Sprint field value." --> my problem is: in my opinion there are no "non-relevant" issues? They all belong to the correct project?
How can I solve this mess?

Best regards

The thing is that the filter which is in place seems to have worked for years now and I hesitate to change that filter because this would of course have an impact on the team behind it.

I have now created a new "test board" where I try to find a new filter query which excludes the sprint but keeps in the rest of board.

Best regards

Hi Felix,

If it's the same sprint ID, then it's the same sprint. Do not delete it, as it will get deleted from both boards (treat it as an object seen from multiple angles).

It could be that it does contain issues from more than one project, but you look at it from a board, and that board's filter is applied (hence filtering out the other issues).

Try doing a JQL like

sprint = <sprintID>

and notice if there are issues from multiple projects.

It could be that you are using generic sprint names (like Sprint 14) instead of including the project key or something else in the sprint name (like ABC Sprint 14) so other people added issues from different projects in the same sprint, thinking that it's a new sprint.

Also, are you on Jira Cloud, or you're hosting your own Jira (Server) ?

Hi @[deleted]

I looked in the issue navigator if there are "wrong" issues but to me it looks like there are only correct issues in the sprint. We use a key with a certain combination and there seem to be only issues with the correct key in the sprint.

--> how can I check if maybe somebody renamed some issues or moved them wrongly?

I am quite new to this current project but I think we are on Jira Server.
