Completing a cross-project Sprint creates confusion when Incomplete Issues exists.

Problem Statement : Completing a cross-project Sprint creates confusion when Incomplete Issues exists.

Description: When a sprint is used among different projects, if we try to complete it and there are issues which are incomplete, no matter what option we choose, all issues belonging to different projects will move to backlog. However issues belonging to project from where we are completing sprint goes to the chosen option - next sprint, selected sprint or backlog. 

This adds an extra step where issues from remaining projects needs to be assigned to required sprint again. 

Details:

Below an example has been used:

Projects = Project A and Project B

Issues = Issue 1 (in project A) and Issue 2 (in project B)

Active sprint in project A = Sprint-A 1

Next sprint in project A = Sprint-A 2

Next Sprint in project B = Sprint-B 3

Example 1

Issue 1 and 2 are part of Sprint-A 1. When we complete sprint from board of project A, we will options to :

a) Move issues to next print : This will move Issue 1 to Sprint-A 3 and Issue 2 to backlog

b) Move issues to "Sprint-A 2" : This will move Issue 1 to Sprint-A-2 and Issue 2 to backlog

c) Move issues to backlog: will move all cases to backlogs of respective projects. 

Example 2 

Issue 1 and 2 are part of Sprint-A 1. When we complete sprint from board of project B, we will options to :

a) Move issues to next print : This will move Issue 1 to backlog and Issue 2 to Sprint-B 4

b) Move issues to "Sprint-B 3" : This will move Issue 1 to backlog and Issue 2 to Sprint-B 3

c) Move issues to backlog: will move all cases to backlogs of respective projects. 

Current Behaviour : This behaviour seems to be by design. When we complete sprints, in option we will get sprints which belong to the same project from where we are completing it. And whatever option we choose, it will apply only to native issues and the issues belonging to other project will always move to backlog.

Requirement: All issues from all projects should move to the sprint or backlog as selected while completing Sprint. 

 Similar behaviour is observed when we have same project but different boards and same sprint is used among all boards.

When we use different boards with different board filters, in that case similar behaviour is observed. 

Ex: Board A and Issue A (Task ) and Issue(Bug) while Board B has filter which only displays Bug so on board we see only Bug and no Task. 

Here if we complete sprint from Board B, it will show 2 incomplete issues. And say we choose to move issues to next sprint, it will only move Issue B (which was visible on it) to next sprint. Issue A which was visible on board A will be moved back to backlog.
