Sprint
The Sprint column shows the issue’s active sprint along with a state badge — Active, Future, or Closed. You can move an issue into a different sprint, or out of sprints altogether, right from the cell.
Change the sprint
Section titled “Change the sprint”- Click the Sprint cell of the issue.
- A dropdown opens listing the open sprints (Active and Future) for the project’s Scrum board. Closed sprints aren’t shown since Jira doesn’t allow moving active issues back into them.
- Pick the target sprint, or choose None to remove the issue from all sprints.
The cell updates in place with the new sprint name and state badge.
Why don’t I see sprint X?
Section titled “Why don’t I see sprint X?”Foundation only offers sprints that are currently open on the issue’s project board:
- Closed sprints — hidden. Jira rejects writes that put issues into closed sprints.
- Sprints on a different board — not shown. An issue can only belong to sprints on its own Scrum board.
- Kanban projects — no sprints exist. The Sprint column shows
—and isn’t editable.
If you expect a sprint to appear and it doesn’t, confirm it’s open on the same board as the issue.
Moving multiple issues
Section titled “Moving multiple issues”- Shift-click or check-box select the rows you want to move.
- Use Bulk edit from the toolbar.
- Jira’s native bulk move handles multi-sprint writes correctly and gracefully.
Selecting many issues and editing their Sprint cells one at a time also works, but bulk edit is noticeably faster for more than a handful of rows.
Sprint state badges
Section titled “Sprint state badges”The state badge next to the sprint name tells you what phase the sprint is in:
- Active — sprint is running.
- Future — planned but not started.
- Closed — already wrapped up.
Foundation caches the list of sprints for a few minutes to keep the dropdown snappy. A brand-new sprint created in Jira may take up to 5 minutes to appear in the picker.
