Summary

After a Jira migration, the Advanced Roadmaps field "Parent Link" is set to a wrong issue.

Cause

The Parent Link custom field uses a different way of storing the references than regular custom fields, potentially causing the references to get mixed.

Solution

  • In the original instance, export the parent issues (typically Epic) to CSV with the columns:
    • Project
    • Issue Key
    • Parent Link
    • Summary
  • Import the CSV in the new instance to fix the parent links
