azure devops migration tools - How to migrate custom fields?

Question

The goal:

1. We want to migrate Work Items from one Azure project to another.
2. We have custom Work Items, say, "Ready", that need to be created in the target.

The issue:

1. It seems our config files are misconfigured as the custom "Ready" generates an error.

The code:

"FieldMaps": [
   {
      "$type": "FieldValueMapConfig",
      "WorkItemTypeName": "*",
      "sourceField": "System.AreaPath",
      "targetField": "System.AreaPath",
      "defaultValue": "Migration-PoC",
      "valueMapping": {
        "CRHFCSIDevOps\Simplified DevOps Architecture": "Migration-PoC\Simplified DevOps Architecture"
      }
    },
    {
      "$type": "FieldValueMapConfig",
      "WorkItemTypeName": "*",
      "sourceField": "System.State",
      "targetField": "System.State",
      "defaultValue": "New",
      "valueMapping": {
        "New": "New",
    "Defined": "New",
    "Ready": "New",
        "Active": "Active",
        "Review": "Resolved",
    "Resolved": "Resolved",
        "Closed": "Closed",
        "Removed": "Removed"
      }
    }

Question: Is there some sample code snippet that could provide an example of a migration of new custom Work Items?
