Migrating forms from CF7 to CF8

Question

I am attempting to migrate a form from CF7 to CF8 using the backup/restore. The form has most of the form fields inside CF7 segment areas. After the restore the list of forms reports the form has 20 views but when you edit the form there are only two views displayed which are both outside of segments. If you click save then the view count drops down to 2.

Is there anything that can be done to the CF7 form to preserve more fields, maybe changing segments to another area type in CF7 prior to the migration?

Hi Craig Area Segment is not imported but I have added support for this in the next update, so if you want for the next update then the restore should work without changes if however you want to do it now then you need to change the Segment in your v7 form to Container, that should import fine
