Hello,
We are working on migrating our different environment to another infrastructure and in the process updating our old Jira (7.4.4 to 8.20.x).
We currently have a production, testing and development environment.
Our current development environment is getting out of date structurally speaking, it's doesnt look like our production environment anymore and we would like to have it look exactly the same in our new infrastructure to streamline any modification.
Our production environment is a more secure place so from a business stand point we cant have the same issues on our development environment without compromising the data security.
So now I have to create a new development environment that would contain, users, groups, fields, screens, workflows, permissions, configurations, etc. Everything except the issues created by our client. We basically want to exclude that from the migration and importation.
For more information: I can't do a full migration and then delete the issues, it is not in accord with our current security policy. I would need to have the issues truncate from the rest of the backup before end.
I was thinking about creating a backup, accessing manually the entity.xml and remove every issues, but I'm not sure what should be deleted exactly.
If someone know which field I can delete to achieve this goal, or another way to do it that is easier, I would be very grateful.
I would like to add that I already have our testing environment successfully migrated and upgraded.
Thanks!
