Transform configuration elements inline during a migration

Cloud TCloud Migration Tool allows you to change how configuration elements from your Jira Server or Data Center instance will be migrated to a Jira Cloud site. We call these changes transformations. There are two ways to apply such actions to the configuration being migrated - : inline transformations and custom configuration mapping.

Info

Inline transformations don’t modify Jira Server/Data Center configuration (in any way)

The Your Jira Server or Data Center instance's projects and configuration elements remain unchanged in your Jira Server or Data Center instance. You’re only transforming how the configuration you’re migrating will be uploaded to the Jira Cloud site.

You may also use the transformations to optimize the configuration for your teams' needs when migrating to the cloud.
