Hi Vikrant,

Could it be that those fields don't exist yet in your new Jira?
That might cause the problem.

Cheers,
Peter

@Peter Van de Voorde In complete xml backup do i need to create all custom fields first in target instance ? Target instance is blank but is higher version then source instance.

I don't think field is problem not 100% sure, as per the error message, tags are the problem as per the document, but after removing tag xml file invalid error coming.

.jar file is not creating correct file.

Thanks

No, if it's a completely empty instance those fields should be created automatically.

I would try and remove those tags manually from your xml backup and see what that gives. These kind of problems are often solved through trial and error.

Tags are like this :-

<q_text><![CDATA[Attach document is for GC .]]></q_text>


without tag :- 

<><![CDATA[Attach document is for GC .]]></>

I already tried to remove tags, but after this getting error message invalid .xml file.

Do i need to replace tags with new tags something like textarea ?
