Problem

When performing migrations from the Jira Server/Data Center to the Jira Cloud using the JCMA (Jira Cloud Migration Assistance), it will duplicate the Xray custom fields:

  • Begin Date
  • End Date
  • Revision

Why does this happen?

These fields will consistently be duplicated. This behavior is inherent to Jira; unfortunately, there is no way to prevent it. Specifically, if two fields have the same name, the system will automatically append "(migrated)" to one of them, such as "Revision(migrated)." Please be aware that this behavior is beyond our control and is a standard Jira functionality. Xray Cloud will use the fields it created, not those that were migrated, but it will copy data from those migrated during the migration process.

How to prevent this?
