This is a similar issue to

https://github.com/solidify/jira-azuredevops-migrator/issues/191

In Jira we have a user picker custom field named BA, but it is not exported until it has a second revision

I create a new user story and I give BA (user picker custom field) a value.
If I run jira-export it does not export the custom field.
See US-27012 - V1.json.txt below for the user story json file

If I make a change to the field BA and run jira-export, it does export the field.
See US-27012-V2.json.txt below.

have attached the export log for the two exports.

this should work the first time.

A clear and concise description of what the problem/bug is.

@RoyalWulf, I have successfully migrated a custom issue picker. Here is how I did it. Give it a try and let me know if your issue still persists:

Custom field alexander-testar-custom-userpicker on my Jira issue:

Inspecting the REST API response gives me the field key:

So I set up the following field map:

And the resulting field becomes:

The issue I had was it worked if there had been a change to the value ie had history but didn't work if there was no change.
Will test but busy on other things at the moment

After some digging I realized that this is exactly the edge case we solved and are now supporting in Jira Azure DevOps Migrator PRO. So unfortunately we will officially support custom userpicker fields in the PRO version and not in the Community version.

You can read more about the PRO offering here: https://github.com/solidify/jira-azuredevops-migrator#jira-azure-devops-migrator-pro

For some details, the field looks like this in the REST API response:

  "customfield_10065": {
    "self": "https://solidifydemo.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user?accountId=6038bfcc25b84e00696240d3",
    "accountId": "6038bfcc25b84e00696240d3",
    "emailAddress": "[email protected]",
    "avatarUrls": {
      "48x48": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e57bc21be69a2940bfa10a99ab4f6d74?d=https%3A%2F%2Favatar-management--avatars.us-west-2.prod.public.atl-paas.net%2Finitials%2FAH-1.png",
      "24x24": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e57bc21be69a2940bfa10a99ab4f6d74?d=https%3A%2F%2Favatar-management--avatars.us-west-2.prod.public.atl-paas.net%2Finitials%2FAH-1.png",

    },

The PRO version lets you set up a custom-key property of your field mapping, which extracts e.g. the emailAddress or accountId property of the field, and is meant for cases where no properties such as id or name are present.

      {
        "source": "customfield_10065",
        "custom-key": "emailAddress",
        "target": "Custom.CustomUserPicker",
        "mapper": "MapUser"
      }

@RoyalWulf, I fixed a bug where a UserPicker field was only migrated on the first revision and no subsequent revisions. I'll supply a build here. Give it a try if you are still experiencing this issue. Let me know if that solved your issue.

Merged #873 . Reopen the issue if the problem still persists.

This was the field map that ended up working for me. source should be the field name:

      {
        "source": "Userpicker Field Name Jira",
        "target": "Custom.CustomUserPicker",
        "source-type": "name",
        "mapper": "MapUser"
      },
