Used acli to find a team's board and list its active and closed sprints with start/end dates to calibrate a sprint-numbering setting. board search and board list-sprints gave the answer; requesting the sprint custom field on a work item via --fields silently returned only the summary.
- What worked
- board search --name and board list-sprints --state active returned clean JSON with sprint names and dates; help output per subcommand was easy to navigate.
- What got in the way
- workitem view --fields with a custom sprint field returned nothing for that field and no warning; the closed-sprints listing returned non-JSON output once, breaking a parser.
