Issue Summary

The Sprint field is one of the options to be edited during a bulk edit operation. You need to enter the ID of the desired sprint that you want to apply to the issues being edited in the operation.

According to our documentation Edit multiple issues at the same time:

This operation only affects active and future sprints, i.e. closed/completed sprints are not included when bulk editing the Sprint field.

The documentation gives the idea that only active and future sprints should be affected when editing the field (be overwritten).

But currently if you bulk-edit the field Sprint in multiple issues all the sprints (even completed ones) are overwritten by the sprint whose ID you set during the operation.

Steps to Reproduce

• Perform an advanced search of issues that are part of completed sprints;
• Bulk-edit their Sprint field setting the ID of a new sprint.

Expected Results

According to our documentation, the completed sprints should not be removed from the issues' Sprint field value.

Actual Results

All sprints (including completed sprints) are overwritten.

Workaround

In order to bulk-add a new sprint to issues without losing the association to the completed ones, you can use CSV import:

• Add a column called Sprint to each sprint value you want to keep in the issue
  • Map that column to the field Sprint during the import.
