Loss of data during conversion (text from old "links to attachments")

Hi,
The pages created using the legacy editor have been automatically converted to the new cloud editor.
I have noticed a significant loss of information during this conversion, as most of the references on my pages to attachments contained text (such as hyperlinks) that precisely described the content of the attachment (which the attachment name does not do).
In the converted version, all this text has disappeared and been replaced by the attachment name.
This is a major issue, and not all pages can be reverted to the old format, if only to allow me to extract this text from the link tags so as not to lose this information during conversion.
Is there a solution?
More generally, this is a significant regression in the editor’s functionality.

Welcome @François POURRIER 

It is not good that you are impacted by this legacy migration task...  Unfortunately, I am afraid that there is no easy / automatic way to restore this text after conversion. Your best options to try are to recover it from page history or older versions via the API, or manually re-add it. For large-scale impact, contacting Atlassian support or scripting a recovery using historical data may be necessary... 

How many pages you think might be impacted?
