Backlog order/priority does not preserve after migrating project from one Jira instance to other

Question

Backlog order/priority does not preserve after migrating project from one Jira instance to other Jira.

Can you please suggest/help on how to migration the Jira project issues one Jira instance to other Jira to preserve the issues order/priority in the backlog board.

I'm currently migrating issues CSV options which is available in admin-> System (/secure/admin/ExternalImport1.jspa).

Thank you.

Hi @Reddeppa

Yes - this looks like its in the suggestions backlog according to JRASERVER-64428.

If you tried the above suggestion and it didn't appear to keep them in rank order (when viewed via a rank-based issue search), then it might not be possible at this stage!

Hi Stephan,

Thanks very much for the response.

In the exported CSV file, i could see the rank values like below

Ex:

Custom field (Rank)
1|hzsx67:
1|hzu41r:
1|hzu41z:
I'm exporting the same values from source and importing them in to target Jira, but I dont see the ranking is preserved as per the source. I have correctly mapped Rank filed to Rank field while importing.
