Shopware 6 migration - custom field with entities not correctly migrated

Question

We are currently migrating a shop from Shopware 5.7.7 to Shopware 6.4.17.2 using these Shopware Plugins:

Shopware 6 Plugin (v4.2.5): https://store.shopware.com/swag257162657297f/migrations-assistent.html

Shopware 5 Plugin (v1.3.4): https://store.shopware.com/swag226607479310f/migration-connector.html

We have a problem with custom fields of type Single selection - TEXT. In our case with entity type Media - Shopware\Models\Media\Media but we suspect that it occurs with all custom fields with an entity connection.

During the migration, a custom field of type text is created, with the id of the Shopware 5 entity as value. These fields are unusable.

• The custom field has no label in the admin.
• The custom field has no value in the admin.
• The custom field does not allow entity selection with dropdown.
• The custom field has no link to an entity in Shopware 6.
• In case of an entity of type Media - Shopware\Models\Media\Media no image is imported.

Is there or will there be a solution for this?

Answer 1

Yes, you're right, there is currently no migration of attributes of type Single selection - TEXT. These attributes should be migrated to the Entity select custom field type in SW6, but I couldn't find any ticket with this issue. Feel free to create a ticket for this, that the migration team could implement this.
