    Hi Mike,



    We face the same problems here. 



    About your first issue, I think what helps is the fact that the listboxes in "Link to Item" window remembers the last used value. But I also would like the feature to link multiple items to be added.



    About your second issue, did you try using Filters ?



    If you set a Filter named for example "ProductA - Sprint X", with a condition like this:

    "Date Last Run" "Greater than >" "07/26/2013" (which is the last day of the last sprint).

    then you would only see what you want...

I feel your pain!!  To make the linking easier (but not easy), you can go into the sprint (using the Releases tab) and link to the the test sets from that. 



Regarding the last run status, I have complained about this to the vendor.  I feel that if I have selected sprint 2, the last run status should display values for sprint 2 only.  So if a test set hasn't been run for sprint 2, the last run status should not display passed or failed.  I was told that the system isn't that smart.  No kidding!!!!  I don't mean to sound cynical, but to me this is basic functionality that is missing.  Maybe if enough of us scream, the vendor will hear.  Sadly when I look at the data dictionary, the information is all there.  It just isn't being retrieved.
