Create screen requires sprint not allowing backlog default

Question

Using Jira Software 8.5. When creating issues via "create" at the top of the navbar I am required to input a sprint value. I am unable to leave it blank and let the issue go into the backlog. Is this normal functionality? I have been reading through the enterprise release notes and nothing suggests that its changed.

Hey @Michael Andolfatto we had script runner and someone had created a behavior that required the field to be input. All is well :)  thank you for taking the time to answer!

@Rodrigo Angulo hmm that is strange. I can tell you that it's not a change caused by an Atlassian update so logically it would have to be a validator (Just verified that the Sprint field is not one you can enforce on the Field Configuration)

Could you verify that the workflow in question is the correct one tied to the issue type you are trying to raise, and send me a screenshot of the validators on the create transition?

@Michael Andolfatto just got the chance to check, No validator is there that would indicate that is causing the restriction.
