Preserve List Items IDs for On-Premise Migrations
Preserve List Items ID's

Hi everyone,
Lately we decided to shift most of our energy towards migrating, managing and adopting Office 365. When we create new features, we make sure they also work with SharePoint on-premise (if possible), but we are not planning on developing more options of features specifically for on-premise at the moment.
I’ll keep the suggestion open and our ears are still open to new comments.
Thank you,

We still like to have this opportunity to copy a List with the ID´s 1:1 with Username and versioning of the element !!!
Please create a new feature to use simply ShareGate instead of our own powershell script. -

In the past (approx. ShareGate version 6) I was able to prepopulate my target list with enough dummy items for all needed id's, add a number column called SPID to the target list and populate it to match the id number, then copy content from the source list to the destination, mapping ID to SPID. That no longer works. It seems only complex keys now work. What happened to single column key mapping????? Why did you take it away?

We use Metalogix for migration of lists where the ID must stay the same :) ....GUYS!?

IDs shoudl be preserved as part of migration. There might be custom code solutions expecting certain IDs.

Preserve list item id after migration
Most of the functionalities are based on the list item id, so after migration if list item changes , it is difficult to restore the same functionality again in target. It will be better if list item ids are preserved during migration.

SegreGate will preserve ids if "Insane mode" is on and also target environment should not be on-premise.

The ability to preserve list IDs is an important option. It would be nice it there was an option to do this as needed, since it doesn't always matter. In some cases we have lists that rely on the item ID. Having that change during migration becomes a huge problem. I've seen the workaround, but that only works in limited situations.

Adding the list item GUID information would help this user associate the flawed items with his environment
