How do I display tasks outside of an active sprint on the Active Sprints tab in Jira?

[Алексей Туркин]

I have a sprint board in Jira, and I'm trying to achieve the following behavior:

1. The Active Sprints tab should display the tasks from the active sprint.
2. You also need to display tasks in certain statuses (for example, "Business Testing" and "QA Testing"), even if they do not belong to the current sprint.
3. At the same time, the tasks should remain in their original sprints, meaning I don't want to transfer them to an active sprint.

I have already tried to set up a filter for the board.:
project = FACTORING AND (Спринт IN openSprints() OR status IN ("Тестирование бизнесом", "Тестирование QA")) ORDER BY Рейтинг ASC

This filter works correctly on the Task List tab, but the Active Sprints tab still displays only tasks from the currently active sprint.

My goal is to display the tasks from the active sprint + tasks in the specified statuses on the Active Sprints tab. I would appreciate any tips, workarounds, or configuration recommendations!

Hello @Алексей Туркин 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When using a Scrum board there are two views; 

1. The Board, showing the issues in sprints that have been started and are not yet complete. The issues are displayed in Columns that are mapped to the Statuses of the issues.

2. The Backlog, showing all issues in Active sprints, in future sprints (sprints that have been created but not started) and incomplete issues that are not currently in any sprint. This screen shows the issues in lists by the sprints, and then a list of incomplete issues not currently in any sprint.

The Board view will show only issues in Active sprints. That is the core function of the board. It will not show issues that are not in an Active sprint. It is not possible to force the Board view of a Scrum board to show issues that are not in an Active sprint.

The issues not in an active sprint can be viewed on the Backlog screen.

If you feel you must have a board view of those issues, you will need to create a Kanban board based on your saved filter. The Kanban board will show all the issues in your filter regardless of whether or not they are in an active sprint.
