Description
Description
I have a craft installation, where we wanted to update to the newest version. Within this update, we already tried to get rid of the deprecated redactor plugin, in favor of the ckeditor. On ckeditor/convert the migration of all fields and content takes place succesfully.
However, inside some of our fields, no content is migrated: The content seems to be lost.
This is strange, as this occurs inconsistent and without an error. Inside of some matrix fields, some content is lost, but other isn't. Moreover, the error only occurs in matrix fields or supertables.
Steps to reproduce
- Have a Craft V4.5.6.1 installation with the plugins Redactor, Redactor Anchor and Redactor Custom Styles
- Install CKeditor
- migrate with
ckeditor/convert - Test all entries, if the migration was successful and if content has been lost
Additional info
- Craft version: V4.5.6.1 -> V4.12.5
- PHP version: 8.3.12
- Database driver & version: MariaDB 10+
- Plugins & versions: Redactor 3.1.0, Redactor Anchor 1.5.0, Redactor Custom Styles 4.0.3, Supertable 3.0.15

Research direction
Start by reproducing ckeditor/convert on Craft 4.5.6.1 with Redactor, Redactor Anchor, Redactor Custom Styles, and Supertable, then compare migrated content in matrix and Supertable fields. Done means all content is preserved consistently and the migration no longer silently loses content.
