Is it possible to migrate dashboards and filters from server to cloud?

Hello,

we are evaluating a migration from Jira server to cloud atm. As we do not want to use the xml backup method to clean the instance also up a bit during this migration, the question is if we can also migrate dashboards and filters from the server instance to the cloud instance without having to use the xml method.

Hi @fkeller-dm

Dashboards can only be migrated using the XML restore, some filters can also be migrated using the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant that can help you migrate project by project, for a full list with what is migrated and what isn't you can check out this article:

Hi @Ramona Scripcaru

I have a couple of questions regarding Shared Filters migration in a Server to Cloud migration via Jira Cloud Migration Assistant:

Which Shared Filters can not be migrated? Are those the ones that are not associated with Project Boards e.g Scrum and Kanban?
If they cannot be migrated via JCMA, is there any workaround to migrate over 1000 Shared Filters?

Regards,

Abbas

you are correct filter should be shared with one project and it should be used in one board.

unfortunately I do not see workaround for filter or dashboard only option as of now manually create on behalf of user which is time consuming task

Note also that there is a separate guidance article for migration of Dashboards, in https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/how-to-migrate-all-dashboards-with-the-jira-cloud-migration-assistant-jcma-1103430546.html

Given the reliance of Dashboards on Filters pre-existing, the Filters need to be migrated first, then disabling the filter+boards dark features before applying the dark features for Dashboards to migrate and running another dummy migration. The article makes it pretty clear, but recommend familiarising with both and doing some rehearsals.
