Issue Summary

When a Sprint is deleted from a board, all the closed issues that belonged to that Sprint get automatically added to the next open Sprint that is on the board.

This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new JSW project and add a few issues to this project
2. Create a new board in this project and go to this board
3. Create 2 Sprints, for example
   • A Sprint called "Sprint 19"
   • A Sprint called "Sprint 20"
4. Add issues to both Sprints
5. Close 1 issue in the "Sprint 19"
6. Go back to the board and refresh the page. Notice that this issue is no longer showing in "Sprint 19" (Expected behavior, since closed issues from Sprints don't show in the Backlog view)
7. Delete "Sprint 19" via the menu ... -> Edit Sprint
8. Start "Sprint 20"

Expected Results

The issue that was closed from the deleted Sprint should not be added to the new Sprint.

Actual Results

The issue that was closed from the deleted Sprint has been automatically added to the new Sprint.

Workaround

If you must delete a sprint, you may prevent this behavior by manually removing any closed issues from the Sprint before deleting it.

You can use this article to find the Sprint ID:

• Jira Software: How to identify the ID of a sprint

Then you can use a JQL search to find the issues you want to remove the Sprint value before deleting the Sprint:

sprint = <SPRINTID> and statusCategory = done
