Subtask Navigation provides users the ability to migrate from the server version to the cloud. The migration is an automatic process done using Jira Cloud Migration Assistant.
Subtask Navigation is showing a panel with sibling subtasks on the subtask issue view. The user is able to configure only the visibility of the panel per project. The migration process will migrate this configuration to the cloud. If the project was migrated from server to cloud, the configuration of visibility will be based on the project from server Jira.
Because the cloud Jira has no specific agile view and the cloud version of Subtask Navigation has no progress bar feature, we will migrate only the option Enabled in issue view.
Jira Cloud Migration Assistant is a free plugin from Atlassian that is able to make your migration to Jira as easy as possible. It’s able to migrate the data from your Jira instance, but also 3rd party plugins that support this migration platform. Newer versions of Jira include the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant by default. If your server instance doesn’t have it, please install the plugin from Atlassian Marketplace.
Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA) allows you to review which applications you want to use in the cloud or find alternatives if the application has no cloud version. As a part of the migration process, you will be prompted to install the cloud version of Subtasks Navigation. It’s not necessary to do it from JCMA though. You can visit your cloud instance any time before the migration and install the cloud version from Atlassian Marketplace.
You can use the JCMA to migrate everything at once (your Jira projects, users, applications,…) or just the Subtasks Navigation, if you already migrated your Jira data in the past. The only requirement is, that your projects should be already migrated or they should be migrated together with the application. You can run the migration process multiple times, just for the application itself, if you need.
You will find the documentation on how to use JCMA on the official Atlassian support website.
The migration status is visible also in the detailed view.
Failed migration usually means we are not able to find a relation between Jira server project and Jira cloud project. It could mean the project in the cloud was removed during the migration. In these cases, you should be notified about the problem by message in the view you can see above.
In rare cases, when the migration process is stuck for hours, don’t hesitate to contact our support for further help.
