Changing field and migrating data in existing Vacation Documents

 How to get to this stage is presented here (point 4)

When editing field you have option to migrate data from existing vacation documents between old and new field. When checked as "Yes" (1), all data from old field in Vacation Documents (Issues created in Vacation Manager project) will be copied to a newly selected field.
