Description
Hello everyone,
We recently updated our Dataverse from version 5.10 to 6.4. The update added new fields to the "New Dataset" form that we want to take advantage of. We are looking to move the values from the "Controlled Vocabulary URL" field to the new field "Term URI" field.
We have no issues with recently created datasets, as our main interest is to move the values in older datasets (before the update).
Do you have any experience or recommendations for performing this task? We are looking for a way that does not involve creating new versions of the datasets.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Regards

Research direction
The issue provides no file, test, or entry point to inspect; start by reviewing the requested migration from Controlled Vocabulary URL to Term URI for pre-6.4 datasets. Done would mean a documented, supported way to move those values without creating new dataset versions.
