Project exceptions migration to new LTS

[wojciech]

When migrating to new sonar LTS you lose all false positives and exceptions made over last years. In our case thousands of it that took a whole team 2 weeks of work. Losing a big portion of projects data every time you update sonar is ridiculous.

Template for a good bug report, formatted with Markdown:

• versions used
  7.3 to 7.9
• error observed (wrap logs/code around triple quote ``` for proper formatting)
  No project migration to a new version
  https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/instance-administration/project-move/
• steps to reproduce
  As in the docs https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/instance-administration/project-move/

That doesn’t sound right.

When Upgrading the Server, you shouldn’t lose any information about issues marked as false-positives or “Won’t Fix”. You’ve linked to the Project Move documentation, but that’s not required to upgrade SonarQube to a new version.

Have you gone through the upgrade steps to upgrade your SonarQube server? All the project data comes with.
