End date for future sprint unable to amend as field is greyed out

[Nicholas Dinan]

I am an Org Admin in Jira and I was unable to amend the future end date of a sprint.  The field is greyed out.

Originally, the sprint is a 2 week duration and the only way around this was to change to 'Custom' and then I could enter an end date otherwise the field is greyed out if it remains a 2 week sprint which is what I have always done previously.

I have never seen this before

Hi @Nicholas Dinan welcome to the Atlassian community.

These are few observations to consider in your scenario:

1. Are there any other active sprints currently running on the project? If so, the end date of the existing sprint will automatically determine the start date of the next one, making the future end date temporarily fixed.

2. When setting a 2-week sprint duration, Jira automatically calculates the end date based on the start date and a fixed 2-week window. To manually set the end date, you can switch the duration to "Custom" in the sprint settings.

3. Check with the project administrator of the specific project. They can verify your access level and review project configurations for any custom roles or restrictions that might be limiting your ability to edit sprint dates.

Hi all, I am having the above issues. I have not had any issues in the past 6 months this is the first time. 

Please find screenshot for reference. I have amended the dates and still no access.

Hello @Nicholas Dinan 

Can you provide a screen image of what you are seeing where you want to change the sprint end date but are unable to do so?

Your problem is not the same as the problem described by the original post author.
