How can I make a new sprint start and end dates automatically populate

Question

I played around in the free version with my own account and was able to create new sprints and the start and end dates would auto populate based on the last sprint created.  After switching my company over to using Jira I have been setting out multiple projects and the dates are no longer auto populating based off the last sprint that was created.

Is there a setting I am missing?  As I understand it, it should by default auto populate based on the previous sprint.

@Hunter Matthews ,

It is painful to plan sprints for large number of teams and manually enter Sprint dates repeatedly for multiple teams for few quarters.

As Jira has already auto-populate in place they have to just remove the condition to check if last sprint is closed.

Here is what Jira's Rovo is also suggesting. Hoping you would review and advocate to prioritize this change.

ROVO:

"Should This Be Changed?

Yes, there is a strong case for improvement:

Jira should allow autopopulation of sprint dates/duration based on the last created sprint, not just the last started/completed sprint.

This would align with the needs of teams that use planning features and create multiple sprints in advance.

It would also make Jira’s automation more useful and consistent with its premium planning capabilities."
