This implies that an upgrade task will run to map the oldest test types for the new kind. This one-time action will run in the background so that Xray remains available during the upgrade. A re-index operation of your Jira instance is required to make the internal data searchable and usable by Xray.
Note
Test Types
Xray supports the followingkindsof Tests:
Steps- defined with an ordered list of steps. Each step contains the action and the excepted result along with other fields.
Gherkin- defined using theGherkinlanguage for BDD.
Unstructured- defined with a single text field without any enforced structure.
When Xray is first installed, oneTest Typeis installed for each Testkindthat Xray supports:
Manual (Steps kind)
Cucumber (Gherkin kind)
Generic (Unstructured kind)
Please be aware that this upgrade task will run immediately after updating Xray. As this operation can take some time and use a considerable amount of server resources, we suggest scheduling the upgrade of Xray outside of business hours. It is always possible to cancel the recalculation operation in the Xray configuration section → Custom Fields → Maintenance.

Downgrading to any version
Downgrading from Xray 7.x.x to a previous version may have the following side effects:
After creating some specific data using Test Case Versions, the user may have some glitches when downgrading to a specific version of Xray
On a Test Issue, multiple manual test versions with steps, when downgrading the test issue will show all steps from all the versions
On a Test Issue, multiple manual test versions with specific datasets, when downgrading the test issue will show the parameters from all the datasets
On a Test issue, having different test versions linked to the same precondition issue when downgrading, the test issue will show an integrity error instead of showing the precondition table
And the precondition will show the warning of being linked to an archived test
