## Post-Migration Task

Following the initial migration process, you will need to review your projects in your cloud instance and reconfigure your original rules using Create on Transition. <span style="color: #172b4d">If you have configured Update on Transition's Conditioned Validator in Jira Server, you will need to reconfigure using Jira Expressions in Create on Transition. All the field values from Server will be viewable in the notes fields as Text. It may not be possible to recreate all of your Conditioned Validators in Create on Transition. </span>

<span style="color: #172b4d">The examples below illustrate what data is copied for Conditioned Validators and where it can be reviewed and reconfigured using Expressions in Create on Transition. For guidance specific to using Jira Expressions, refer to Atlassian's </span><span style="color: #172b4d">[documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-expressions/)</span><span style="color: #172b4d">.</span>
