JIRA migration to cloud gives cannot link project to board in the cloud

[Gerben Heinen]

I am doing a test migration from JIRA server to JIRA cloud and I get an error from the migration tool:

ERROR {name of project} project-export KANBAN board [{name of board}] cannot be linked to business project [{name of project}] on Cloud.

Hi @Gerben Heinen , business projects are part of Jira Core in Server. They are part of Jira Work Management in Cloud. Business projects don't have kanban boards by default as this is an agile feature of Jira Software.

So, either remove the Kanban Board in Server and migrate it as a business project.

Or change the project type in Server from business to software and then migrate the project to Jira Software Cloud with the Kanban Board included.

Thanks! I changed the project type and now the error is gone.

Hi. I have that same issue. How is the project type in Server changed? Thank you.
