Bugzilla v5.0.6 imported to newest version of Jira

[Billy Wolsleben]

Hey folks, has anyone tried to export newer versions of Bugzilla into the latest and greatest Jira release? Any issues, caveats, gotchas to be aware of.

Hi

I have migrated from Bugzilla 5.0.4 under PostgreSQL 10.12 to Jira 8.8.1, using JSON format.

Some advice:

• Attachments, histories (partially), summaries, descriptions, comments, OS and platforms (as labels), versions... may be imported but require to write a small script (I've wrote one in Kotlin under Intellij IDEA). You have to export issues ordered by bug ID.
• Attachments should have distinct filenames or rename them using bug identifiers for instance.
• Finally, you need to convert some characters of descriptions and comments in order to produce a valid JSON file: \n, \t, ", \\ ...

Best regards.
