Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a 6.2 bundle
2. Create a new site
3. Create a page tree like this one:
   Page 1 - Page 1.1 / Page 1.2
   Page 2 - Page 2.1 - Page 2.1.1 / Page 2.2
4. Put a Navigation portlet on Page 1
5. Configure it as the Display style is "From Level 1 with Title"
6. Put another Navigation portlet on Page 2.1
7. Configure it as the Display style is "From Level 2 with Title"
8. Put another Navigation portlet on Page 2.1.1
9. Configure it as the Display style is Custom -> Root page level = 3
10. Run the upgrade process on a 7.1 bundle or master
11. Check the Navigation portlet on the pages
12. Open the portlets' configuration

Expected behavior: Set root levels are the same in 7.1

Actual behavior: All root levels are reset to 0, page tree doesn't look like it was on 6.2

 

Root cause:

Navigation Menu was relying on deprecated preferences as backup, should new preferences not be present. This was removed in LPS-84039.
