      Problem Definition

      Closing a sprint no longer places the uncompleted issues on the top of the backlog. Instead, remaining issues will be arranged based on their rank when they were first added to the sprint. This can cause some confusion, as issues may end up being mixed with other open issues.

      Suggested Solution

      Would be nice to have the ability to select where to place the remaining issues on the backlog / next sprint. (top / bottom / based on rank)

            possible wonky workaround:

            Note: I thought I could do this with Search Issues, then a bulk change, but it appears you cannot change the rank with bulk change, even though Change Rank is an option there.

            1. Close the sprint and return the issues to the backlog
            2. In your sprint board, create a Quick Filter
              Name: Last Sprint (or whatever you want)
              JQL: sprint =
              then type a little of the sprint name and select it from the list. The JQL editor will replace the sprint name with a number
            3. Click Add and return to the board
            4. Click on the newly created filter to select all the items in the desired prior sprint
            5. Click on the first issue
            6. Shift click on the last issue
            7. Right click on an issue and select Top of Backlog

            That should move all the items from the prior sprint to the top of the backlog

            Remember to delete the Quick Filter, if desired.

            +1 vote (I voted above) for this to be fixed and allow the scrum master to place all the items to the top of the backlog.
