Specification

What data is migrated

Data

Note

WBS Code

Limitation

On WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira server version WBS code of a issue can be set each WBS (Gantt WBS, Project WBS, Filter WBS). On the other hand, WBS code of a issue have to be unique on WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira cloud version.

Therefore, If the same issue has WBS code on several WBS (e.g. Issue X’s WBS codes on Gantt A , on Gantt B and on Project C are different), used WBS Code is following priority.

Newer Gantt > Older Gantt > Project > Newer Filter > Older Fileter

Template

Limitation

Only fields of editable standard columns, successors and predecessors are migrated.

Editable Standard Columns

  • WBS code

  • Name

  • Assignee

  • Units

  • Priority

  • Start Date

  • Finish Date

  • Manual Mode

  • Due date


Differences in specifications

On WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira server version, templates are issues.
On the other hand, on WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira cloud version, templates are app own data.
Thus migrated issues for template are meaningless. So they are deleted automatically in migration process. And template issue type also.

Gantt-Chart data such as start date

Migrate data as a Jira field.

Hierarchy and Dependency

Migrate data as a Jira issue link.

Gantt

Migration of gantt data to the cloud is only possible with WBS Gantt-Chart for jira Data Center 9.16.0 or later.
Due to differences in functionality between the Data Center/Server and Cloud versions, some data will not be migrated.
For details, please check "Gantt Data Migration" below.

Jira Cloud Migration Assistant(JCMA) executes the migration to the Cloud without updating the project ID included in the filter's JQL.
As a result, the migrated Gantt chart may not display issues correctly.

Therefore, you need to change the project ID included in the JQL to the project key before migrating to the Cloud, or update the JQL after migrating to the Cloud.

Since this is an issue with JCMA, you will need to watch and vote for the following Atlassian issue and wait for an improvement:

What data is not migrated

Data

Note

Lag/Lead

Lag/Lead data migration is not supported due to a bug in JCMA that does not correctly convert the issue link IDs.
We are planning to support migration as soon as that bug is resolved.

System Setting
