How to prevent (migrated) fields during migration to Jira Cloud?

Question

Hi,

We are testing out the data migration process from Jira Server to Jira Cloud.  I noticed some fields get a (migrated) tag.  In this case, did the Start Date (migrated) get created by the migration process due to the case difference?

More specifically, I am wondering how to prevent this from happening so the data from "Start Date" actually get populated into "Start date" during the migration.  Hopefully someone can shine some light on this.

Thanks!

Andy

Thanks for your input.  Unfortunately this is not really an option for us.  We have been on Jira Server for years and it's too much to leave behind.  Hope I'll find a way 🤞

Sadly the best way I can propose doing this is not to migrate at all, but to do a fresh start.
