    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      Issue Summary

      When customer migrates Jira from Server/DC to cloud using 1.6.5 or 1.7.1, the edit permissions on the filters, boards is not migrated.
      Same is the case with dashboards as well.

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Install JCMA 1.6.5 or 1.7.1
      • Enable below dark features:
        com.atlassian.jira.migration.export.all.filters
        com.atlassian.jira.migration.export.multiprojects.boards
      • Create a project and then create a board in this project.
      • Go to board settings and edit filter associated with it.
      • Add any group/user to view permissions on the filter.
      • Add any group/user to edit permissions on the filter.

      Expected Results

      Both view and edit permissions should get migrated to Cloud for the filters and board.

      Actual Results

      Only view permission is migrated to the cloud, and the group that was added in edit permissions will be visible under view permissions. The edit permissions will become private.
      On Server, before migration:

      On Cloud, after migration:

       
      It can be seen clearly, that jira-users group was part of edit permissions for the filter on Server, but after migration, on cloud, it is added to view permissions.

       

      Workaround:

      Download the latest version (1.7.8) of Jira Cloud Migration Assistant  [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222010/jira-cloud-migration-assistant/version-history

      • Start your migration as usual.
      • This feature will now migrate the share permissions for the filters and dashboard along with its rights i.e. edit and view

            Still no fix for this very important feature ?? it will be impossible to do this manually for over a 10 000 filters for different users and groups... Please fix this ASAP.

            Appears to also affect JCMA 1.7.7

            Any progress here ??

            This is annoying why JCMA doesn't support this feature. If such basic support is missing why Atlassian took a decision to stop Jira Server support. Imagine fixing this for more than 3000 filters manually, it's completely unacceptable

            We have more than 1500 filters with multiple editors. Imagine how much time it's going to take to fix those manually...
