Migrating from Legacy to New Zendesk Custom Objects
Can I migrate from legacy custom objects to the new custom objects in Zendesk?
While there isn't an automated process to migrate from legacy custom objects to the new experience, Zendesk provides a manual tutorial to guide you through the transition.
Legacy custom objects and data remain available in the Admin Center, but migrating to the new system allows you to take advantage of enhanced capabilities. If you choose to continue using legacy custom objects, the previous product limits will still apply. For more information, see the original announcement.
