When closing a Sprint "Issues not Completed" does not forward to the Backlog.

[efrat.nevat]

Hi,

It seems that in the last few sprints, when I am closing a sprint, JIRA does not forward the “Issues Not Completed” to the Backlog.

This problem started AFTER I changed some of the boards, so now they present stories from 2 different JIRA projects.

Any idea how this BUG can be solved?

Thanks

In your sprint check what statuses are mapped to the columns. Only statuses mapped to the last column (or rightmost column) is considered as done and will not move to the next sprint when you complete the sprint.

It is quite possible that you mapped too many issues in the rightmost column and thats why JIRA agile is considering them as Done and therfore not moving to next sprint.

Another cause can be that you have some future sprints defined  in one of the boards, and therefore any inresolved issues automatically move to the next future sprint instead of the backlog.

This is such an obscure rule for "Complete Sprint" functionality. I wasted over an hr trying to debug this issue, but also know that at other places I worked, they would move all issues manually to the next Sprint to avoid tickets being thrown in the backlog because they didn't understand this rule.
