1. A method of replicating a first item from a first software version to a second software version, on a computing system running the second software version, comprising:

  • for each of a plurality of fields of the first item;

    determining whether the field is native to a second item in the second software version;

    upon determining that the field is native to the second item in the second software version, storing the field as native data to be loaded into memory of the computing system, wherein the field is determined to be native when the second software version is configured to access and use the field; and

    upon determining that the field is non-native to the second item in the second software version, storing the field as auxiliary data to be stored on persistent storage in an original format, wherein the auxiliary data is not loaded into memory of the computing system, and wherein the field is determined to be non-native when the second software version is not configured to recognize the field; and

    upon determining that the first item is missing one or more required fields for the second software version, based at least in part on the second item in the second software version, storing a default value for each of the one or more required fields as native data.
