Move from a sprint to new sprint

Question

I have 100 issues in my sprint(Ex:Sprint 10). Now i want to move 50 issues to new Sprint(Ex:Sprint11) without creating new sprint manually.

As a workaround, I have selected that 50 issues and rightclick then doing bulk change. There i have "Change Sprint" available. If i give 11 then it creates sprint11 automatically and move the issues to Sprint11. But in some cases if i give any random numbers it says "Sprint must Exits:44"

Is this the correct way to bulkmove to new sprint? If so what is the reason to occur the error?

Thanks in advance

The reason it doesn't work is because it is not intended to work in this way. You cannot just randomly create Sprint XXX when you don't have Sprint XXX-1.

Just create a new empty Sprint and then bulk-copy the issues over to it. You could also ask for a feature request from Atlassian as to have a button called "Create new sprint with the selected issues". Go to support.atlassian.com.
