Sprint Name is auto populated when using Create Sprint Option in backlog page

Question

Hi All,

for my classic scrum project, when I use the 'Create sprint' button on the backlog page, the sprint name is auto-populated. Later we need to edit its start and end dates.

But, In one of my client's Jira software instances, when they use the 'Create Sprint' option, there is a create sprint form opened to enter the sprint details.

Providing the screenshot for reference.

Please help me how can I switch to the same functionality in my Jira instance as well.

Is it a system property I need to enable or I have to upgrade my Jira to any specific version ????

Sorry for the misunderstanding, @Rishi Kumar Gupta Tadikamalla.

Checking the documentation and release notes, the feature released on version 8.8.

Dates for future sprints

So far you were able to plan future work but could not assign any specific dates to future sprints. Now it's changing! Whenever you create a sprint a pop-up opens allowing you to enter dates for this sprint.

I am asking, In which version of Jira Server, the sprint creation form has been introduced ???

Hi @Rishi Kumar Gupta Tadikamalla,

Jira Cloud doesn’t have versions, it’s constantly updated based on the features asked on jira.atlassian.com.
