When migrating from confluence server to cloud, what's the best way to deal with existing calendars?
Hello Jonathan,
Thank you for contacting us about this.
The best way to migrate your calendars is to recreate them in Confluence Cloud using the .ics URL.
Essentially, you'll export your calendars to .ics format, and then import them again. However, I do want you to be aware of a current bug that I ran into myself when doing this for my own instance:
If your calendar contains any custom event types, which it likely does, then these will be converted to default events. You will need to manually recreate your custom event types and then apply these once again to your events. If you have recurring events then please make sure to modify all events and not just the single event, and it should apply the change to each recurring day.
Do let me know if you have any questions about this.
Regards,
Shannon
Note that CONFCLOUD-49097 custom event types has now been fixed!
The work was logged here CONFCLOUD-68823 - ICS Import of a Team Calendar with multiple event types results in a calendar with just one event type
This issue is now fixed. When importing a calendar with custom event types, the event types are now retained after import.
It is on the Cloud Roadmap | Atlassian to be supported by Q2 2021.
Any news?
@Robert Horan - as of today the roadmap says Q2-Q3 2022 😢

This is very painful that Atlassian is forcing us to migrate now while their tools to enable that migration have slipped past the deadline.
Has anyone that has used the export/import method noticed that it does not carry over the person field for who the event is assigned to? wondering if its a known issue or just something we are facing.
@Darren Newberry - this is a known issue. I was trying to find a ticket but can't. There's no way I know of currently to export this information.
