Issue count in sprint too high

Question

Hi, we noticed that the issue count in a sprint is higher than the actual issues included in the sprint. We used the backlog view during the sprint planning. We had 16 stories included and the count said 36 issues. Does anybody else also notice this? We do not have filters active.

That sounds like the difference then - it's counting the sub-tasks differently

I have the same issue. Our backlog shows 127 tickets, however the sprint summary shows 129, sometimes 130 tickets ...

The above solution didn't work for us. @Henk Aarts did you find a solution that works for you?

Those are sub-tasks. Because stories were taken over from a previous sprint there are subtasks created for that.
