Rename closed sprint on OnDemand Jira Agile

[Jennifer Zanich]

I've tried the following:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GHKB/How+to+rename+a+closed+Sprint+in+JIRA+Agile

after replacing the http with https, but got the following response:

Forbidden (403)

Encountered a "403 - Forbidden" error while loading this page.

Go to JIRA home

Is this because I'm not a super admin and one can't do this with an OnDemand instance or is the page out of date and something has moved?

Hi Jennifer,

You need to be admin of your instance to run curl.

Could you try to run these steps again?

1. Download curl library to your computer
2. Open your prompt/terminal

3. Run the curl

   curl -u username:password 'yourInstanceURL/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/SprintIDToChangeName' -X PUT -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' --data '{"name":"NewSprintName","startDate":"SprintStartDate","endDate":"SprintEndDAte"}'

   Where:

• username: your username to access your JIRA application
• password: your password to access your JIRA application
• yourInstanceURL: e.g.: http://mySite.atlassian.net
• SprintIDToChangeName: your sprint ID that you'd like to rename
• NewSprintName: your new sprint name
• SprintStartDate: in the following format... 06/Apr/14 8:00 PM
• SprintEndDate: in the following format... 06/Apr/14 8:00 PM
  

Then, just check if your sprint was renamed. 

If that does not work, please open a ticket at Atlassian SAC (support.atlassian.com) under JIRA Cloud that we will gladly change that for you.

Cheers!

Hi, 

How come we cannot rename old sprint? When I tried to rename the sprint uses rest API then I got the following error:

{"errorMessages":["Cannot update closed sprint"],"errors":{}}

As I need to rename the old sprint, because I restructure the sprint code.
