what happens to blocked issues when you close a sprint?

Question

Hello, we recently discovered that when we close a sprint, issues that are in the "blocked" state don't get moved to the new sprint or the backlog (whichever option was selected). It seems like they stay in the old, closed sprint so they are no longer visible in our backlog. Is there a way to have them move to the next sprint along with the other "to do" or "in progress" issues?

sorry, I can't share screenshots of the exact story. What I see in the history:

- "blocked" story stays in the current sprint when the sprint is closed

- other "in progress" stories move from the current sprint to the next one when the sprint is closed

yes, blocked issues are mapped to a board column.

Hmm strange. Is the blocked status mapped to a board column?
