Xray Migration Tool - Base Link Import handler is looking up for issue objects in Jira-Target using the issuekey

Note: Jira-Origin is where the backup file is generated, Jira-Target is where the project is imported

The Xray Migration Tool looks up for issues in Jira-Target using issuekeys on the backup file without validating its issuetype nor its content, to build ID mappings (for instance step old id to step new id), for associating Xray entities (for instance to associate Tests to Test Plans), assuming that the issue in Jira-Origin is the same in the Jira-Target.

This affects this Xray Issue Link imports:

• Test Plan and Tests: Confirmed
• Test Execution and Test Plans
• Test Sets and Tests
• Test and Pre-conditions

And may also affect Test Runs

When importing the second and following projects, in some cases Xray creates issue links without validating the issuetypes. This can result in integrity problems: for instance a Test Plan and Test association linking Story issue with a Test.
