Hey Dirk,

For sure, I've contacted the provider and they send me 6 node.js script to run regarding description, comments, history, custom fields and attachments but it's really heavy and risky jobs.

My question is more about finding a method in order to follow the migration, i mean, i have roughly 100 projects to MOVE, 200 who should STAY where they are, 50 should be ARCHIVED.

My Idea is to create table inside Jira schema called migration-project-status where we would have 350 rows, one by project, with column 'Scenario' = MOVE/STAY/ARCH

A table would be convenient as many search are done via Sql, i mean search of the automation needed by MOVE projects, search Jeditor project through 
MOVE project, etc.. So I could built sql where migration-project-status = 'TOMOVE'

This new table would also propose a status 'TOMOVE' --> 'MOVED' , TOARCH, ARCHIVED etc .

Any comment is welcome.

Hey @Mackowiak ,

Do you have any specific questions?

Migrating to Cloud is a bit of an undertaking and does require a lot of analysis.

For example, JEditor does not have a Cloud version at the time so that will not be possible to migrate. You can always reach out to the vendor to see what path they are proposing.
