Hey team, could you please help me with some advices, what is the best approach when i need to migrate custom plugins from the versions mentioned in the topic? I have checked the documentation and apparently should first migrate to 7.17 and then to 8.7, but not sure how to best process. Honestly the documentation is not so clear what code refactoring to be done. thanks in advance, any advice will be much appreciated. ---

That's the best path for migrating the stack, we don't provide direction in regards to custom plugin update though sorry. What do these plugins of yours do? ---
