We have custom fields called "Story Points 2" and "Story Points" used for estimating the efforts. Many projects Boards in our organization are pointing to either of these fields. Now to standardize the estimation field we have advised our teams to move to "Story Points" field instead of "Story Points 2". Is there a easy way to migrate the data present in "Story Points 2" Field to "Story Points" field so that all the reports and historical data are moved to new estimation field? Right now, after we have moved to new field the reports are not showing old data for obvious reasons. Please advise.
Atlassian support had suggested to do the below steps:
Basically, you must follow the steps below:
- First, you must create a loop transition (A transition that goes to the same status where it came from) for each one your statuses and on each project's workflow that you must change the field
- You must add a post function to each loop transition called Copy value from other field that will copy the value from the field Story Points 2 to Story Points
- Then, perform a bulk operation transitioning the issues through the loop transition you created on step 1: P.S: You must perform a single bulk operation for each status and for each project, configuring the filter query to display the proper issues.
- Delete the loop transitions
The above was not a feasible solution as number of project invloved was high. Please advise if we have any alternative way to fix this issue.
