If is possible to get lost data?

[Paulina Mijal]

Hi all, 

I was moving issuses to another project. One of the fields (description) was obligatry and I had to wrote something to move them, because in previouse projects some of issueses did not have it. When I did it comes out that all of the moving issues had changed. 

Thanks,

Did you do it through a bulk change?if yes I am afraid you lost your data.

Since you are a server user. You can check with your sys admin the backup. But even this approach you have to be careful as you don't want to restore without making sure that your users don't lose their work since the latest backup.

If you have any questions let me know.

Best,

You mentioned: I had to wrote something to move them, because in previouse projects some of issueses did not have it

How did you add the information?

During migration one of the stages this window appeared with a field to be completed - I entered the draft description there. I thought it would be updated for those which don't have it at all, and not for everyone migrated.

Yes that's why you lost data for some issues that had description already

Finally, I've recovered my data in the history of the issue.
