Feature Release 4.0 - JMCF for Jira Cloud

Our team is thrilled to announce the latest release of JMCF for Jira Cloud 4.0. This release includes the beta release of support for migrating from JMCF Data Center to JMCF Cloud using Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA).

Be aware that JMCF migration using JCMA is currently in Beta, so you will want to test the JMCF migration in a trial or test Cloud instance.

Migration

Migrating to JMCF Cloud

Migration of JMCF custom fields is now supported between Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud using Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA).

Known issues

Migrating using JCMA is currently in Beta; there are a few known issues with migration. You should test your migration thoroughly before running it in a production environment!

  • The Atlassian APIs do not enable the transfer of large numbers of custom fields; for larger instances with numerous custom fields, you may need to migrate them in batches.

  • Field context migrations are limited due to a bug in JCMA. For custom fields with more than one context, only the first context will be migrated by JCMA.

  • Due to the difference in supported scripting languages between Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud, scripted custom fields will need to be manually reconfigured; scripts will need to be rewritten in JavaScript.
