What kind of problem is it ?
This error occurs when the Sprint field associated with a Scheduled Issue has a value of Active Sprint. And you have a active Sprint associated with a board whose location is in another project.
An example of the occurrence of this problem:
How to recognize and resolve this problem:
In company managed projects
This is the situation when you create two managed projects and then create two sprints (one for each project).
After that you start both sprints.
And finally, in one of these projects, you create a board whose location is the other project with the active sprint (previously created).
Now all issues with active sprint selected will be failing.
To avoid such situations delete this board or remove it from affected project.
In team managed projects
Team managed projects do not give feature of creating multiple boards and having parallel sprints.
Related to documentation: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/what-are-team-managed-and-company-managed-projects/
However, you can create multiple sprints by creating a team-managed project as shown below.
But this solution causes SI execution problems when multiple sprints active.
First, create a JQL expression filter associated with this team-managed project:
Example filter contains:
(project = name_of_team_managed_project)
but it can be done in multiple ways.
After this create a board with Issues returned by this filter.
And start sprint with issues on this board.
Also add second sprint to this board and start it - so you have multiple.
Now all issues with active sprint selected will be failing after execution.
To avoid such situations delete this board.
