Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ,

I have the same problem but I don´t understand your answer.

I have already created sprint1 and sprint2 in this company-managed project.

They both have many tasks and bugs assigned.

Why cant I have a Sprint dropdown combo in the "Create" screen when I have sprints created?

I have placed the "Sprint" field in the CreateIssueScreen but when I select it, it says it hasnt found any sprints matching my project. I dont understand why?

Any help will be very much appreciated!

You can't set a sprint in the create screen, because the issue does not have any data that can tell Jira if it could go into a particular sprint.

Imagine a board (to which sprints belong) that says "Project = X and component = 42".  Before you create the issue, Jira has no way to know that it is going to have component 42 put on it, so it has no way to know what board it might appear on, and hence what sprints it might be valid for.
