Migration of data between an end-of-life plug-in to a Jira custom field

Jack Pattison

We're going through an upgrade cycle, from 7.13.6 to 8.20, we have a plug in called agility checklist (with Definition of Ready & Definition of Done) of which is end of life and support and we cannot get an update of this plug in or a license etc.

our business needs some sort of functionality like agility checklist, this is stopping us upgrading and therefore putting us at risk.

I have 2 options I see fit but not sure how to finish them off

1. extract & import the the data using rest/api from agility checklist to a custom field (success criteria)

2. extract & import the data using the PostgresQL DB from agility checklist to a custom field (success criteria)

I need to keep all historical data

any help would be greatly appreciated, this is stopping an essential upgrades and maintenance.

Hi Jack,

Which type of field is your destination custom field (success criteria)? Or have you not yet chosen which product will replace Agility checklists?

If you are using Checklist for Jira, you can use Jira's REST API to migrate your data into issues. (We also have ScriptRunner samples, and support CSV import.)

I believe Agility checklists stores their information in entity properties (issue's properties), so you would get the data first from there.

Kind regards,
Maxime

Hi, @Jack Pattison and welcome to the community.

Have you considered migrating to a different checklist plugin?

You can have the functionality for checklists and checklist templates for DoR and DoD with Smart Checklist and you can import your data via CSV import.

Let me know a bit more about what is it that you need exactly from a checklist and I'll try to be a bit more helpful.

Cheers,

Oleksandr

Hi Maxime,

Yes, I want to put it in success criteria, I've added that field to all of my screens so it available for all boards to use, I just need a way of copying the thousands of lines of data from agility checklist easily into success criteria..

Hi Oleksandr,

I do not wish to move to another plug-in, I want to put it in success criteria, I've added that field to all of my screens so it available for all boards to use, I just need a way of copying the thousands of lines of data from agility checklist easily into success criteria..

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the clarifications. But which type of field is Success Criteria? The type of field will affect which kind of data migration will take place.

You can see which type it is in your Custom Fields list.

Kind regards,
Maxime
