Is there a way to retroactively edit an end date of a closed sprint?

[Lucas Ferreira]

Hey all!

Well the title is self explainable this time.

It appears we might have closed a few of our sprints on the wrong date. Is there a way we can change it somewhere in Jira?

Hi @Lucas Ferreira 

That is not possible with current features, and here is a suggestion to add that capability: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-16331

One possible work-around is to re-open the sprint, and re-close it, although that may cause other reporting / work management issues if there are other sprints in progress or which have completed before the new close date.  If you want to try that, please review this documentation carefully first: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/reopen-a-sprint/

Kind regards,
Bill

@Bill Sheboy Got it... But if I reopen and close it again, it will consider my current date as the end date, even if I edit the sprint desired end date, won't it? That do not solve my problem :S

Yes, that is one of the big challenges with that approach and why there is the suggestion to make it more flexible (i.e., adjust the date).  The current REST API functions do not support a change to a specific completeDate:
