From Backlog how to locate JIRA Sprint Code from hover or other option

Question

Before JIRA Cloud a user could be in Backlog of a board, hover over the sprint heading and view the sprint code numerical value in the bottom left hand corner. (Chrome or Edge).

JIRA Cloud is not presenting with this function and sprint codes cannot be easily located or presented in a report.

The examples on help are for when a sprint is active already or has cards already but the purpose of needing a list of sprint codes is to complete a bulk upload template for large projects to assign story/cards to the correct sprint.

JQL Query has been advised as an option but this is time consuming to find a sprint code for many sprints in Backlog.

Thankyou for taking the time to respond Ajay.  I'll take a look at creating a JQL to obtain the numerical values of the sprints.

Thankyou for taking the time to provide this helpful information Swathi - This was effective however only for past/completed sprints and the current active sprints from boards connected to that Initiative. It does not show future Inactive sprints in the dropdown list.

It's a shame this feature is now gone as it was already admin heavy and removing it defeats the purpose of bulk uploads to sprints.  We will just have to upload to the Epic and manually drag and drop to sprints via Backlog.

Hello @STONE_ Lisa

Good day!

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Adding to @Ajay  _view26_ you can use one of the below methods to fetch the Sprint ID:

* Access Sprint Report on the board and select the required Sprint from the dropdown. Once the Sprint is selected, the URL will display the Sprint ID at the end.
* Access Filters, switch to JQL and start searching for the required Sprint. The specific name and it's ID will be displayed in the list of Sprints when you start the search.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Swathi
