Can a story be moved to a sprint backlog when it is moved to a particular status?

Ganesh Kumar Vary

Hi,

 

I am working on a Scrum project & I have a special use case:

when the story is moved to a status named "Backlog", this should take the story out of sprint to backlog of the sprint. Is there any automation rule using which I can achieve the solution.

Please help me with the issue.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ganesh Kumar.

You need to edit the Sprint field and remove the current sprint. The easy way would be to clear the field but the downside is you would loose any historical sprints as well. So the trick here is how to only remove the current active sprint. 
Now, my question here is what is driving this desired behavior? Why not simply remove the issue from the backlog vs. manually moving status to backlog? Both are manual steps.
