JIRA Gantt chart plugin: Does the GH support still works in the new sprint scheme

[Itamar Goldminz]

Historically, fixversion was the field used by GH for sprints.

Since they contained start and end date metadata it was possible to populate start and end date for a user story in a fixversion based on the metadata of that fixversion.

However, in the new scheme were "sprints" are used, it is not possible (as far as I know) to set start and end date for a sprint before the sprint is actually started making it far less useful for project-planning purposes.

Is this functionality still supported in this new scheme, and if so - how?

[Frank Polscheit · Accepted solution]

You can still use fixversions, but my addon supports the newer sprint and rank customfields as well. As soon as you assign an issue to a sprint, all related issues of that sprint will be re-scheduled.

But you are right, that assigning start/end date of a sprint is a bit anoying to be done by "start sprint" and not earlier. I will think about it, if a workaround is possible.
