Migration of Find Duplicates from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud
This article provides a clear overview of how to migrate the Find Duplicates app from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud. Since the app relies entirely on your Jira data, the migration process is simple and requires only a brief configuration review after the Jira migration is complete.
The Cloud version works directly with your Jira Cloud work items, so all duplicate-detection logic continues to function after your Jira migration. The only action required is to manually copy the Find Duplicates configuration settings from your Data Center instance to your Cloud instance. While most settings are shared, there are differences between the two versions that you should be aware of.
If you used the quick suggestions panel in Data Center, note that in Cloud this functionality is provided automatically by Rovo AI (if enabled on your Jira Cloud site).

Manual Configuration Copy
After the Jira Cloud migration is complete, open the Find Duplicates configuration page in both versions (Data Center and Cloud). Copy the values for each setting that exists in both systems. Some Cloud parameters have been simplified, but the core matching behavior remains consistent.
