Sprint ID for an Active or Closed Sprint

JIRA doesn’t have a direct “Sprint ID” field exposed in JQL (JIRA Query Language). In JIRA, the Sprint ID serves as a custom field utilized to associate all the issues encompassed within a Sprint. It proves valuable in mass-modifying issues, such as when setting a filter to isolate issues within a specific sprint in Jira. The Sprint ID of a particular sprint becomes necessary for this purpose. JIRA manages sprints through the Sprint field, typically identifying each sprint by its name or number.

Go to the JIRA Board and click Report. Then on the top left corner select the sprint for which you want to know the sprint ID . The global Sprint ID will showup in the URL.

e.g. /secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=23&view=reporting&chart=burndownChart&sprint=12145

Sprint ID : Advance Search Feature

  1. Go to issues
  2. Click on “Search for issues”
  3. Then in the basic view of filters, select the Project, Type, Status, etc, and also select sprint as a criteria (Look for “More” dropdown sprint is an option over there).
  4. Then after selecting the sprint suggestion containing the Sprint name will be displayed. Select the sprint you want sprint id.
  5. Then switch to an advanced view of the filter and it shows the sprint ID in the Query – JQL

For the active sprint:

sprint in openSprints()

To find all closed sprints:

sprint in closedSprints()

Target the Future:

sprint in futureSprints()

Issues in a Specific Closed Sprint by Name:

Sprint = "Sprint 1" AND project = "Your Project"

Issues in a Specific Closed Sprint by Sprint ID (custom field):

CustomSprintID = "Sprint123" AND project = "Your Project"

Find a specific sprint by start or end date:

sprint in sprintsStartedAfter("2023-12-31") AND sprintsStartedBefore("2024-01-15")

Note: Use JQL functions for advanced filtering: Explore JQL functions like sprint in futureSprints(), sprint in futureSprints(1), or other combinations for more specific sprint queries.
