Purpose

When JCMA is used to migrate Jira Server (users/groups, data, attachments) to the cloud, using different plans, JCMA keeps track of what fields were migrated and when. This helps admins to understand which fields were already migrated and helps to avoid duplicates.

There's an ongoing Feature Request aiming to empower administrators to remove the "migrated" text from the migrated custom fields:

• MIG 186 - Give users the option to remove the migrated text from fields.

It’s highly recommended that those going through this knowledge base vote and subscribe to the feature in order to receive updates once they are posted to the ticket.
While the feature’s not implemented, this knowledge base aims to explain how to circumvent this behavior.

Solution
