How to remove an open issue from a completed spring?

Sandra Meessen

Hello, I have an issue in a "to do" status and this issue is part of a running sprint and part of a completed sprint. This last shouldn't, so I want to remove it from the completed sprint. How do I do that? Bulk edit doesn't give me an opportunity to change "completed sprint".

Currently I'm using Jira version 7.1.11 and upgrading to 7.11 soon. Can I remove these open issues from the completed sprint in my current version (in a workable way) or should I wait till after the upgrade to 7.11 for extra functionality (which?)?

Thanks for the help,

@Sandra Meessen, when you complete a sprint any incomplete issues should then be moved to the backlog (next sprint if created). Now if things haven’t changed then the original sprint will also exist in the sprint field along with the new sprint. The reason for this is that the sprint field maintains history of every sprint an issue existed in. Assuming this is what you are experiencing and your goal is to always clear out the sprint field at the end of the sprint the I would consider automation. Something like: when sprint completed, if issue != Done then Sprint = null. I haven’t done this so unsure if automation provides the necessary variables but would think so. Now if you simply want to do this manually you can write a JQL filter to capture all open issues in closed sprints.
