If I upgrade Jira Work Management to DataCenter, will its links to Confluence Server etc persist?

[SimonH]

In order to efficiently migrate Jira Server projects to another Jira System running on DataCenter, I need to use a plugin that is only available in Jira DataCenter (because they have stopped selling plugins for Jira Server).  

But if I upgrade Jira Server to Jira DataCenter on the original system, will all the links to Confluence Server, Crowd Server and Bitbucket Server still persist?  e.g. if a Jira ticket was referenced in Confluence before Jira was upgraded to Data Center, will it still be referenced?  Will Crowd still authenticate access to the upgraded Jira?  Will I still be able to access code changed under a Jira ticket by clicking through to bitbucket?

Hi @SimonH ,

If you only upgrade the license to Data Center, the links will remain the same. You are not changing anything to the physical installation. Only the license changes.

Best regards,
