Hi Team,

As part of housekeeping, we are planning to remove deprecated/not used custom fields from the jira and planning to store same field data before performing housekeeping activity for future reference, So please suggest best practice to do this activity and store the data in easy way to restore if required in future.

We are using Jira v8.22.6.

Hi @Sreenivas Narala 

I think the easiest way to accomplish this is to execute a search like this:

YOURCUSTOMFIELD IS NOT EMPTY

In your results, include at least the project, issue key, Summary, and custom field and then export the results to csv

Should you ever need to restore, you could use the csv export as an import file for restore.
