Migrate checklists from Jira Server/Data Center to Jira Server/ Data Center
If you and your team are moving from Jira Server to Jira Server, be sure - your checklists will be safely migrated as well.
Instructions
Prepare Backup on destination Jira Server. Go to System → “Import and Export” section → Backup manager → Backup
Restore Jira data from Backup on Jira Server. Go to System → “Import and Export” section → Restore System → Restore Jira from backup
Then install "Smart Checklist for Jira" on the server, go to addon "Settings" -> "Global Settings" and Start Migration
Note: Make sure you have Smart Checklist older than 5.3+ and above version installed.Once migration is completed - Smart checklist values would be successfully migrated from an Issue Property to a new Data Storage (Database) and custom fields would be synced as well!
Check if the migration was successful in Issue Search view by adding “Smart Checklist” custom field
That’s it!
