Data transfer from a cloud instance to another cloud

Devarajan Mani_5ch17r

While using the Data transfer option under Data Management in https://admin.atlassian.com to transfer a space from a cloud instance to another cloud instance, the custom fields and schemes are getting duplicated as shown below

Scheme: Default notification scheme ---> Default notification scheme (Migrated)

Custom field: Action Required ---> Action Required  (Migrated)

What could be the reason?

Thanks in Advance

Hello Dev!

I believe this is a known behavior, you can find information on this at Jira Cloud Migration Assistant duplicates and tracking entities 

From the page:

How the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant works

We're rolling out changes that will allow the migration assistant to check if entities are identical – they have the same underlying properties. Learn how the migration assistant merges identical entities

The Jira Cloud Migration Assistant is non-destructive, so it will save a record of each entity (e.g. workflow or custom field) it migrates for the first time. In subsequent migrations to the same cloud site, the migration assistant will check to see if it already has a record of that entity.

• If an entity in your migration has the same name as an entity in the cloud site, and wehave a record of migrating it, we will link your data to the existing entity in the destination site. We will not re-migrate this entity.

• If an entity in your migration has the same name as an entity in the cloud site, and wedon'thavea record of migrating it, we will modify the name by adding (migrated) to avoid duplicates and ensure there's no data loss (we cannot guarantee that a field with the same name is exactly the same field). For example, an entity called Custom field A will be renamed to Custom field A (migrated) after migration.
