Issue Key changed from Bitbucket to Jira migration

João Pedro Matos

Hello,

I just imported a issues from a repository in bitbucket throgh the "Migrate issues to jira software" button in the repository settings, and all the issue keys changed number, from bitbucket to jira. See pic. below

This defeats the whole purpose of our migration effort, so, can this be fixed so that the "CHAM-782" becomes "CHAM-794", and so on, for all imported issues?
(Keeping the same key nr. from Bitbucket to Jira.)

Thanks,

Hi @João Pedro Matos ,

I saw on your previous question that you were considering a Cloud to Server migration. Is this still accurate? I'd like to fully understand if you're importing issues directly in Jira Server from Bitbucket Cloud, or if there's a different migration path (Bitbucket Cloud to Jira Cloud, Bitbucket Cloud to Bitbucket Server to Jira Server) in the mix.

Thanks,
Daniel

Following. Don't have this issue yet, but haven't migrated because I'm concerned about this exact scenario happening.

Context: The project I would migrate is ironically a code analysis plugin for Jira that requires stable issue numbers to be referenced commit messages!

Edit: Also, what happens after migration when a BitBucket issue references another via #123 hash reference in the issue text?

Hi @Daniel Eads thank you for having a look at this.
Im in a small product dev co. (hardware + software) and currently no proj. management tool is used, issues are scattered around bitbucket (cloud), emails and notebooks. The developers use Bitbucker (Cloud) to store their code, hardware files, and the issues are stored there too, in each repository.
We also use confluence (Server) as the company database.

The idea is to start using Confluence, Jira and Bitbucket (Server), integrated with eachother to manage the projects. I've been creating the workflows, links between the Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket etc. All softwares are installed and ready to go, Confluence has content, since we've used it before, Jira and Bitbucket (Server) are empty.

In-house there is no expert user so I've been trying to figure out by myself which is the best way to bring everything that is on BBucket cloud into the server, transfering the issues that are on those repositories into the Jira Server, so that I wouldnt have to write them all over again in Jira.

How to do it - or the best way to do it - I'm open to suggestions. Total newbie here.

[It would be great to keep the same issue number after importing (relating to the question above), but the team already said it was not critical]

P.s. we're using Bitbucket 6.1.1 and Jira 8.3.3

Thanks for your help,
Regards
JM

Hello @João Pedro Matos ,

Allow me to step-in.

The functionality you are mentioning, "Migrate issues to jira software", is actually migrating the issue to Jira Software Cloud, but then you say you are migrating to Jira Software Server, so I am not sure I have a complete understanding of what you are doing.

Are you actually:

migrating the issues to Jira Software Cloud, then export a full Jira backup and re-import it in Server
migrating the issues to Jira Software Cloud, then export the issues to CSV and then re-import them in Server
Anything else?

Please let me us know

Cheers,
Dario

Hello @Dario B

Number 1,

In the meantime I have migrated the issues of some BB Cloud repositories into Jira Cloud projects.

In system>backup manager> button "create backup for server" - which I think is the way to go for number 1 option, correct? - the button is not clickable.
Is it because Im not System Administrator?
