Problem to solve

Conversations and issue labels are not exported.

Steps to reproduce

I clicked on Export as CSV in the self-managed instance, and then imported the generated CSV file on the other instance.

Configuration

Example issue in the original GitLab instance:

Example issue in the new GitLab instance:

You can see that the conversations and the “Bug” label are not migrated.

Versions

  • The self-managed GitLab, from which I export, is: GitLab Community Edition v16.9.5
  • The new GitLab instance, in which I want to import the issues, is GitLab Enterprise Edition 17.4.0-pre 8862473b86d
