Add recurring task to a sprint

How to add recurring task to sprint

Make sure that Sprint field is present on 'Create issue' screen in your Jira config. Scrum Board, Sprint State, Sprint Name Pattern recurring task fields will not be visible otherwise.

When editing/adding recurring task you are able to decide if an issue created by a recurring task will be added to an Active or Future sprint.

In order to make it happen you have to:

select a Board Name
choose Sprint State (Active or Future)
Sprint Name Pattern (type in simple text or use regular expressions here )

You can leave 'Sprint Name Pattern' field empty

Issue will be always added to the first matching sprint

Example

Let's assume that the board is configured with following sprints

Active Sprints

ALW Sprint 1 (Active)

Future Sprints

ALW Sprint 2 (Future)
Evaluation Sprint 1 (Future)
Evaluation Sprint 2 (Future)

If you select in recurring task configuration following field values:

Scrum Board: ALW Board

Sprint State: Future Sprint

Sprint Name Pattern: Evaluation

Recurring Task app will choose: Evaluation Sprint 1 (Future) because it is future sprint that matches 'Evaluation' name and it is first on the list.

Issue will be added to the first sprint that matches selection criteria - board name, type of sprint and sprint pattern name
