How do I move unassigned tickets to the next sprint after closing a sprint?

[Cole Ogden]

When closing a sprint, all tickets not assigned and in 'To Do' move to the backlog. I would like to keep these for the next sprint so they can be assigned later. Is there a way to do this?

Hi @Cole Ogden

You need to have the next sprint created - or it'll default to just moving these to the backlog.

On your board, under your active sprint but above your backlog, the "Create Sprint" button will still be there even with an active sprint. You can create "future" sprints from here.

If you have these created, when you close the sprint, it'll ask you which sprint you want to put incomplete issues into.

This works on Next-Gen and Classic, depending on what you're using :)
