Stop sprints from other projects displaying in the Sprint drop-down list when creating an issue?

William Chambers

I know this issue is partially existing in other questions relating to tickets in other sprints displaying on boards but my concern is specific to the creation of a ticket.

Issue

When you create a ticket in project A, the sprint drop down field displays all available sprints from Project A, Project B, Project C etc.

Expected behaviour

Creating a ticket for a project should only be able to be added to a sprint in that project.

UPDATE - Vote for this functionality here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-10805

Hi William,

There is actually on open Suggestion for this that you can find at JSWSERVER-10805.

Currently, there does not seem to be anything that limits which Sprint an issue can be added into when done via the Issue View Screen (with the 'Sprint' field). This can cause confusion as it could show Sprints from boards from a different project or cause users to link the issue to the wrong Sprint due to Sprints having the same name.

The suggested workaround is as follows:

Since Sprint names are not unique in JIRA, try using unique Sprint names with a prefix of the Project so that it will be easier to distinguish them.

At this time I would recommend going to JSWSERVER-10805, voting on the issue and leaving comments for the developers so that feature request can gain additional impact so it can be added to JIRA.

Cheers,

Branden

Thanks. Have updated the original question to direct others to the issue. I can see the issue was created in 2014 and hasn't been done yet.

Since 2014, Aaron Mooy has:

Signed from Western Sydney Wanderers to Melbourne City
Won the Melbourne City player of the year award
Broke the record for number of assists in a season (20)
Became a key member in the Australian national team
Signed from Melbourne City to Manchester City
Was placed on loan to Huddersfield town (Championship)
Voted by the fans as the player of the year
Scored a penalty at Wembley to help secure promotion to the Premier League in the play-off final

That's a lot of progress so I am a little concerned at the comparitive lack of progress of this issue.

2 years have passed (5 since the original question was asked) and still no progress.

Great, just came to the board to figure out how to do this and it looks like I can't and it's been an outstanding issue for a long time. We inherited a classic project from our third-party vendor when we started our in-house dev team. Simplifying our going-forward work with a Next-Gen project and love it so far except the Sprint list that includes dozens of outstanding Sprints that were apparently from the previous vendor's other client projects. Those projects aren't even in our version but I still see them.

Tina Maddox

This is a huge issue for our company as well. We currently have two projects that somehow connected issues to both projects and when one closes a sprint it inadvertently closes the other project's sprint which does not run on the same schedule. I have been attempting to fix it but nothing is actually working from what I am finding in the docs.
