Reproduce

• Start a process instance on Camunda 7.2 which waits in a Multi Instance activity
• Upgrade to Camunda 7.5
• Migrate Process Instance

Error

• parallel MI:

• I can migrate MI actvities from before 7.3 to after 7.5

Hint

• with 7.3 the MI implementation was refactored and added an additional scope:
