First, we'd like to add that ultimately, all Xray data can be migrated, just not automatically, nor through Jira's method of transferring data. Complementing that, we also have a suggestion, XRAYCLOUD-34434703, to analyze the possibility of adding a feature that allows the import of Xray's backup file.

If you deem it appropriate, please *Vote* for it so we can keep track of your interest and *Watch* it to receive updates.


Recommended Method

After using Jira's Backup and Restore Tool, you'll see that all Jira data of Xray issues were migrated, like the Issues' Summary, Descriptions, etc. That information is not Xray managed, nor is it located in Xray Servers, so it transfers during that process.

...

The whole first point and part of the second point can be migrated by exporting the data with Xray's Document Generator, a built-in feature that allows you to customize templates and generate documents regarding Jira Xray data , mainly Xray issues, and issues, which includes some Jira issues configured as requirements, and defects. You can also check check this Knowledge Base article about Export and import tests: Cloud/Cloud. There, you can download a base template that you can adapt to export Test, Test Set, and Pre-Condition Data and its relation, including Test relations with Test Sets.

Having the data exported to an XLSX file, you can easily convert it into a CSV file to use Xray's Test Case Importer.

DISCLAIMER: This is not the only possible method, and you can decide and successfully migrate the data using another method. Yet, this is the analysis and strategy we recommend you follow.
