How to Migrate Custom Fields to Secured Custom Field in Jira including Data Migration
This feature is currently in Beta. When you migrate a custom field to a secure custom field, the system will create a copy in the secure custom field while retaining the original (golden copy). We are limiting the number of custom fields that can be migrated to 25 custom fields. Configurations on screens and projects are automatically copied.
Your feedback is important to us. If you encounter any issues or any suggestions, kindly raise a ticket to CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
