Use of custom fields after an upgrade of CA Agile Central ON PREMISES?

Products

• CA Agile Central On Premise (Rally)

Issue/Introduction

I have created a few custom fields under CA Agile Central ON PREMISES, at the 2016.1 release.  We will be upgrading to CA Agile Central ON PREMISES 2017.1 and would like to know if we will need to do anything special to the custom fields after the upgrade.  

Environment

Release:
Component: ACPREM

Resolution

When you upgrade to the new 2017.1 release, you are restoring your current 2016.1 data into a new 2017.1 virtual machine which will consist of all of the custom field, so any custom fields you have created under release 2016.1 of CA Agile Central ON PREMISES will be retained after the upgrade.
