Sprint field displays sprint information as Current Sprint though they have not been started

Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.

Summary

The Sprint field in the Jira issue view shows Current Sprint for all sprints even though they have not yet been started. 

Environment

Jira Cloud

Diagnosis

The Sprint field displays the sprints under 2 sections: Active and Future. Each Sprint then displays the details of the Board that it was created under.

Cause

Verify the board name where the Sprint was created.

The board is named Current Sprint, thus the information is displayed in the Sprint field. 

Solution

To avoid confusion while viewing the Sprint field, you can rename the board to a different name that would indicate the project/sprint information.
