jcgonzalezmartin Appreciated your response. Do we have any official documentation regarding 100K limitation.

Is there a workaround to migrate 200K documents?

it seems very strange to me, I've uploaded a list with 800000 elements, while another library with less elements gave the same error. Does anyone knows about support options from Microsoft for the tool?

 

thanks

    I've got in touch with microsoft that confirm that this message could be considered a warning.

    I can still go on with the migration: in my case if I ignore the metadata the items get uploaded fine (or at least I wish).

    Always with the support we figured out that some lists are missing since are defined on the parent site and we should import explicitly with a json bulk import

      Andrea Dal Farra this same issue but the migration just stalls at 19% with the error that file number is too large for indexing. Did yours actually go through the migration but just showed an error? Mine won't even complete!
