Summary

Read on to learn the criteria Jira uses when suggesting sprint names.

Solution

Jira uses two different methods when suggesting sprint names:

• If no sprint exists on a given board, the suggested sprint name will be based on the name of the board.
  • Example: For a board named Test , the suggested sprint name will be Test Sprint 1 .
    
    
• If a sprint is already present on a board, the suggested sprint name will be based on the name of the most recent existing sprint.
  • Example: For a board named Test with an existing sprint named Sprint 1.1 , the suggested name will be Sprint 1.2.

Please note that this applies to any sprints that show on the board, even if it's a sprint from another board. Such sprints will be visible when the boards share issues, and any such shared issue is part of a sprint on another board.
