Limitations

It is recommended that the administrator creates the following field entities if they have not been migrated by JCMA:

  • Components

  • Fix versions

  • Affected versions

  • Labels

  • Reporter

  • Assignee

  • Watchers

When migrating from Jira Server/DC to Jira Cloud using the JCMA, draft workflows are not automatically included in the migration. Due to the tool's default behavior, only active workflows are migrated, excluding any workflows in draft mode. To ensure that these workflows are available in the Jira Cloud environment, publish the draft workflows before migration or copy the draft workflows manually.

Substitution variables processing

...

When the following fields are defined using substitution variables in the source instance, they are not processed and are copied as-is to the target instance:

  • JQL query

  • Acting user
