Is the Sprint Field editable to limit it's Dropdown Values?

Question

Hi there,

Story: As a user on issue creation we want to only allow one option when users click the Sprint Field dropdown and that option is "Backlog".

Question: Is there a way to on Issue Creation only choose the Backlog to where the new issue goes?

The goal: Not have users pick a sprint to upload the issue to.

If you are using server/datacenter deployment and have scriptrunner, you could write some behaviour scripts to achieve this.

But with my experience, i do not recommend this. For JIRA to be used as a standard agile project management tool, ask the end users to use it how it is designed to be used, following agile ceremonies. New stories should be groomed in backlog before committing it to a sprint.

Hi @Fazila Ashraf ,

is there a way to only show certain users on issue creation the Sprint Field dropdown? We've deleted the field, but is there a way to give some users access to this on issue creation?

Hi @Fazila Ashraf ,

Is there a way to not make the Sprint Field mandatory on one specific screen, and only show Backlog as an option for the dropdown values?

SCRATCH THIS NOT NEEDED
