Custom field ID

[Matthieu Imbert]

Hi,

the question has arisen as part of migration exercise we are currently undertaking. We used the add-on project configurator to help us migrate our prod data into a UAT environment and notice the custom field ID's changed. The issue with this is that has cause problem with power bi scripts that have been written previously for use on prod.

Does anyone know of a way of export the Jira instance and retaining the custom field id information so things don't break? or is it the case of doing the migration and re-writing scripts that are connected with power bi?

Hi,

If you want to keep the same id between multiple environment you need to make a copy from the DB and put it in your environment. If it's not possible may be you can change you script to use the name of customfield instead of the id.
