This page resumes the process of migration to SQL Query fields, this includes manual and script implementation to create, configure and copy the value to the new fields.

Initial configuration:

In this phase, you will configure the data source, for more information please check Add Kepler - SQL Query Fields | Grids & Dashboards Datasource page

Map custom fields:

This phase need to be done as a start of the migration process. You will need first to list all your fields that needs to be migrated, you can use the following array pattern :

Old_customfield_IdTypeNew_customfield_id



where :

Old_customfield_id: is the id of all the customfields that needs to be migrated

Type : is the type of the current customfield, can be a simple or multiple select, a table or an autocomplete

New_customfield_id: is the id curresponding to Old_customfield_id (the new field)

Configure field:

After creating all the fields you will need to configure them relying on the old configuration, for more information about how to configure an SQL query field please refer to : Configuration of SQL Custom Field


Copying value:

The last phase is to copy the value from the old to the new fields, for that you can use the following scripts :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.UpdateIssueRequest
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

//This map old to new fields ids
Map<String, String> fieldsMapping = new HashMap<>();
fieldsMapping.put("old_cf_id_1","new_cf_id_1");

// loop over the map where entry.key is the old id and entry.value is the new id
fieldsMapping.each{ entry ->  

	CustomField old_field = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName(entry.key)
	CustomField new_field = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName(entry.value)

	// you can loop on all issues using jql and query searcher
	MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("issuekey");
	

	issue.setCustomFieldValue(
			old_field
			, issue.getCustomFieldValue(new_field))
	)

	UpdateIssueRequest updateIssueRequest = UpdateIssueRequest.builder().build();

	ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(
			ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
			, issue
			, updateIssueRequest)

}
