Title
Migrating only selected fields -
Description
Is it possible to migrate only selected fields without removing first the whole item ?
Scenario:
The Item has fields A B C D
The first run you migrate all the fields
And the second run you need to update only, for example, B and C fields
-
Resolution
RESOLUTION:
Unfortunately the Migration Tool does not update specific fields at the moment.- The option: 'Replace existing item' setting will delete the existing one first and create new one.When replacing an existing item, the old item is discarded, and the new item is written.- The option "Add or upgrade list fields (if needed)" refers to the list definitione.g. adding a new field in an existing SharePoint list.)So it is better in this scenario to just map all required fields and re-run the migration job.
