We need help to migrate Project Specific field to cloud

WE are looking for advise to migrate project data for a few Project Specific fields

[Holger Schimanski]

Currently there is no Jira cloud version of Project Specific Select Fields. You can change the Project Specific Select Fields to normal standard Jira custom fields. The regular users can continue to use them as normal, but the option values have then to be maintained by Jira Admin rather than Project Admin.

• Project Specific Select Field

  • Is under the hood based on a standard single select field

• Project Specific Multi Select Field

  • Is under the hood based on a standard multi select field

• Project Specific Select Field (simple)

  • Is actually a standard text field under the hood.

You find some hints how to migrate to normal standard Jira custom fields in the section about “Converting Standard Single and Multi Select Field to Project Specific Select Field” in the Wiki https://bitbucket.org/hski/projectspecificselectfield-public/wiki/Home. You have to revert the logic. You can identify your fields using the following script.

SELECT * from CUSTOMFIELD WHERE 
CUSTOMFIELDTYPEKEY LIKE 'jira.plugin.projectspecificselectfield.jpssf%';

Changing an individual Project Specific Select Fields of type “Project Specific Select Field” 'com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:select' and “Project Specific Multi Select Field” 'com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:multiselect' to a standard Jira custom select fields you have to update CUSTOMFIELDTYPEKEY and CUSTOMFIELDSEARCHERKEY to standard Jira values.

Custom fields of type “Project Specific Select Field (simple)” can be migrated to a standard text field.
