Migrating to a global field misses 40% of the data

Where I come from: I have a multiselect field in a JPD project that I want to re-use in a new JPD project. So we created a global field with the same values and I started the migration.

What I did: Used the migration tool and assigned non-matching values

Where I'm at: The system only copied about 60% of the field values to the global field. The rest has empty global values where there is local data. I've had to edit the rest to match my local field.

Is that a known bug?

Could be that it only takes more time. While migrating a second field and waiting a bit to grab lunch, all entries had been migrated.

Hi Denis, 

Indeed, I was about to ask to raise a support ticket, but I see it worked after the second time. Based on your screenshot I see you had 13 different options, and if you had >100 ideas in your project, then it can definitely takes several minutes for everything to be copied.
