Correct use of addedAfterSprintStart() function

Question

Hi,

I am using this function addedAfterSprintStart(Board Name) to display on a dashboard the amount of story points and time spent on issues that were planned at the start vs that were added later on for the current active sprint.

Now the concern is that sprint planning sometimes takes 1-3 days due to amount of time that team is able to commit in a day. So even though the sprint kicks off on Day 1, we would complete planning only on Day 3. The sprint would be activated on <Board name> only on Day 3, but the sprint start date entered would be backdated to Day 1.

With this configuration would the addedAfterSprintStart() function take the date based on start date entered for the sprint, or the actual date when the sprint was activated.

hi Sudarsan,

Thank you for replying. Perhaps i wasn't clear in the original post. I Activate the sprint only on Day 3 (in this example). However when i activate the sprint, i input the sprint start date manually as Day 1. So what i was trying to find out if the actual date of activation is being used for the addedAfterSprintStart() function or if it refers to the sprint start date as whatever i have given as input.

Hello Rob, We also use the function addedAfterSprintStart(, ). The function gives you the items which were added after the start of the sprint date. So, the moment you hit the "Start Sprint" Button, the function picks up the Day 1 date (sprint activation date) and not your Day3 date. There can be a possibility if you log the day3 date to a field - customize it If this is needed, try with API. Let's make it look simple and easy to understand, make sure the team starts the sprint when they are ready to start, It is good that your team spends a lot of time in planning, and I hope due to that the execution happen quickly. Thank you. :)
