Are Xray Server and Xray Cloud the same product?

No, they are two different products with distinct roadmaps and different release cycles. The architecture that supports both products is different, so it affects all aspects of the products. Although we try to keep them as close as possible featurewise, they must be understood as two different apps, although with a lot of similarities. Most of these differences result from the architecture since, in Jira Cloud, all Apps (including Xray) run in different hosts. So Xray Cloud communicates with Jira Cloud through its API, and if there is no API that supports a given feature it is not possible to make it available in Xray Cloud. And other differences result also from customer feedback and technical decisions. This is why when moving from Server to Cloud it is important to be aware of the differences.

What happens to Xray Server custom fields?

Being a different App, Xray Cloud has a different approach to custom fields. Most information found in a custom field on Xray Server is now found in other locations on the Xray cloud.
