Is it possible to migrate issues without losing the Development info?

[Nicole_Brueckner]

Dear community, 

We are currently migrating one instance to a central instance (Data Center). Next to this they have Bitbucket Cloud in usage. 

Is there any chance to have the Development information migrated to the new instance? I know they are linked via issuekey, but if I would provide the old issuekey somehow in the new instance (Customfield "External ID")?

Thanks for helping out :) 

Best regards-, 

Nicole

Hi Nicole,

Have you attempted a test migration on a staging environment with some of these issues yet? I believe the intended functionality is that once you migrate from Jira DC to another Jira DC or Jira Cloud, you simple reconnect the application link to Bitbucket Cloud and because of the issuekey in the branches, commits, and pull requests, that development panel should re-populate automatically with the Bitbucket details.

Let me know if you're running into issues with this!
