How to uncheck an iteration as completed?

RTC marked my Product Backlog as completed! Now it doesn't show up on the "Plan For" dropdown in the Developers Taskboard. How do I "uncomplete" an iteration that has been marked by RTC as completed?

The backlog has no dates, of course. I tried giving it a date after the sprints already in the system, but this neither removed the checkmark nor re-sorted the product backlog to appear later. I did some experiments with the Move command but that made the problem worse by moving the backlog to the top of the sprint list, before all the completed sprints. My goal is to get the backlog to show up on the Developers Taskboard "Plan For" dropdown again:

Good:

Bad:

2.0.0.2 ifix5 and can't upgrade to 3.x until Feb 2012 at the earliest since Ganymede is required for other tools.

When you mark an iteration as the current iteration, all previous iterations are marked as complete. This is what has happened in your case. The workaround is to make your product iterations sub-iterations of a release and have your backlog iteration as a top level iteration. This is what the Scrum template does:

Release 1.0

Sprint 1
Sprint 2
Backlog

I filed https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/169361 to change the way iterations show up.

That's the way we used to have it and the backlog didn't show on the Plan For menu in the Developers Taskboard.

Now that the backlog is marked complete, is there any way we can unmark it? Can this be fixed without creating a new backlog and changing the Planned For on everything?

This turned out to be an easy fix - I "Move Iteration"/the new sibling/select the current sprint. I have to do this after setting the current sprint at every iteration change, but it works.
