Migration: Automatic placeholders for missing values
Customer migrations are tedious and involve a lot of work, as data records are often not transferred to Shopware 6 because they are missing from Shopware 5.
For example, if the salutation of a customer is not filled in Shopware 5, but the field has become a mandatory field in Shopware 6. Or the first name.
To make migrations much easier, the migration wizard should store a meaningful placeholder in such cases so that the data is transferred correctly.
Within Shopware 6, you can then search for these placeholders and adjust the entries. This takes away the frustration that many customers experience during a migration.
