How do I change the name of a sprint from the name Jira suggests automatically?

Robert Heath February 25, 2021

I've created a sprint on a project board. Now, I'm trying to set up another sprint. However, I can't override the name that Jira suggests. Is there some additional permission that I need, in addition to the Manage Sprints permission? Or is this a bug?

Solved. Turns out that I need to refresh the page to see the name that I specified. Jira doesn't refresh the name automatically.

Hi @Robert Heath ,

To edit the name of the sprint, you need to navigate to the 3 dots (right) next to the linked pages option and select edit. 

You only need manage sprints permission to edit the name of the sprint.
