+# Migrate custom Property Editors to Umbraco version 14 and later
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+This article applies _only_ to implementers of custom Property Editors, that is:
+
+- Maintainers of Property Editor packages.
+- Site implementers who have built their own Property Editors.
+{% endhint %}
+
+Umbraco 14 introduces a split between server-side and client-side Property Editor aliases. The reasoning behind this change is two-fold:
+
+1. It allows server-side implementations to be reused for multiple client-side Property Editor UIs.
+2. It helps to ensure a better division between client-side and server-side responsibility.
+
+## Migration impact for Property Editors
+
+In the Umbraco source code, the change manifests as the `EditorUiAlias` property on `IDataType`. 
+
+When upgrading from Umbraco 13 to Umbraco 14 and later, Umbraco automatically migrates all Data Types to include an `EditorUiAlias` value. For custom Property Editors, this migration is based on certain assumptions.
+
+### Manifest based Property Editors
+
+If the Property Editor is built with a [package manifest](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/13.latest/tutorials/creating-a-property-editor#setting-up-a-plugin):
+
+1. Assign the package manifest `alias` to the Data Type `EditorUiAlias`, and
+2. Convert the Data Type `EditorAlias` to the alias of a core Data Editor, based on the `valueType` specified in the package manifest.
+
+The following table contains the applied conversion from `valueType` to `EditorAlias`:
+
+| Property Editor `valueType` | Resulting `EditorAlias`  |
+|-----------------------------|--------------------------|
+| `BIGINT`                    | `Umbraco.Plain.Integer`  |
+| `DATE`                      | `Umbraco.Plain.DateTime` |
+| `DATETIME`                  | `Umbraco.Plain.DateTime` |
+| `DECIMAL`                   | `Umbraco.Plain.Decimal`  |
+| `JSON`                      | `Umbraco.Plain.Json`     |
+| `INT`                       | `Umbraco.Plain.Integer`  |
+| `STRING`                    | `Umbraco.Plain.String`   |
+| `TEXT`                      | `Umbraco.Plain.String`   |
+| `TIME`                      | `Umbraco.Plain.Time`     |
+| `XML`                       | `Umbraco.Plain.String`   |
+
+{% hint style="warning" %}
+**This might also impact Property Value Converters**
+
+Property Value Converters for package manifest based Property Editors might be impacted by this migration.
+
+It is common practice to pair a Property Editor to a Property Value Converter using the package manifest `alias`:
+
+```csharp
+public bool IsConverter(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)
+  => propertyType.EditorAlias.Equals("My.Editor.Alias");
+```
+
+Since the migration moves the `alias` to `EditorUiAlias`, the Umbraco 14 and later equivalent code looks like this:
+
+```csharp
+public bool IsConverter(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)
+  => propertyType.EditorUiAlias.Equals("My.Editor.Alias");
+```
+{% endhint %}
+
+### Code based editors
+
+If the Property Editor is built with a [Data Editor](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/13.latest/tutorials/creating-a-property-editor#setting-up-a-property-editor-with-csharp), we:
+
+1. Assign the Data Editor `Alias` to the Data Type `EditorUiAlias`, and
+2. Retain the Data Type `EditorAlias` as-is (which is the Data Editor `Alias`).
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+The Data Editor `Alias` is found in the `DataEditor` attribute:
+
+```csharp
+[DataEditor("My.Editor.Alias")]
+public class MySuggestionsDataEditor : DataEditor
+{
+}
+```
+{% endhint %}
+
+## Migration impact for porting Property Editor UIs
+
+The [`umbraco-package.json`](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/tutorials/creating-a-property-editor#setting-up-a-plugin) file is a central component for extensions in Umbraco 14+, including Property Editor UIs.
+
+To keep the Property Editor working with migrated properties, ensure that the `propertyEditorUi` extension is declared with:
+
+1. The migrated value of `EditorUiAlias` as its `alias`, and
+2. The migrated value of `EditorAlias` as its `propertyEditorSchemaAlias` (found in the extension `meta` collection).
+
+For example:
+
+{% code title="umbraco-package.json" %}
+```json
+{
+    "name": "My.Editors",
+    "version": "1.0.0",
+    "extensions": [
+        {
+            "type": "propertyEditorUi",
+            "alias": "My.Editor.Alias",
+            (...)
+            "meta": {
+                "propertyEditorSchemaAlias": "Umbraco.Plain.String",
+                (...)
+            }
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+{% endcode %}
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+See the [Creating a Property Editor](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/tutorials/creating-a-property-editor) article for guidance on building a Property Editor UI for Umbraco 14 and later.
+{% endhint %}
+
+## Alternatives
+
+If the Data Type migration yields an undesirable result, you have two options:
+
+1. Manually change the `EditorAlias` and/or `EditorUiAlias` directly in the `umbracoDataType` table, or 
+2. Create a custom migration to update the properties. See the [Creating a Custom Database Table](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/extending/database) article for inspiration.
