[ShaderGraph] FormerlySerializedAs do not works with JSon serialisation
When serializing element with JSonUtility, user should be able to migrate data using provided FormerlySerializedAs attribute as in Yaml.
Step to reproduce:
- Create a project with an old and new data structure with a field only changing by its name using the FormerlySerializedAs attribute. (check provided attached file that contain a test with this.)
- Try to save the old format in a json and then load it in the new structure format.
Expected: if FormerlySerializedAs refer to the old name, the deserialization should be able to retrieve the field value.
What can be seen: FormerlySerializedAs do nothing in case of JSon serialisation.
Note: ShaderGraph serialize the shaders in JSon format. Thus it is currently impossible to migrate data when we make shader upgrade.

- There is no way to adjust the HDR Paper White value of the Unity Editor's interface, making it difficult/uncomfortable for some developers to work on very dark/bright scenes in HDR
- Animator window has a dropdown button that throws “MissingReferenceException” error on a new project when the previous project had a GameObject with an animation
- Animator State name overflows outside the visual box when the State has a long name
- UI Document file remains marked as Dirty after Undoing made changes
- Switching between UI Documents with different Canvas sizes marks the UXML file as dirty
Resolution Note:
We will look to improving JSON support, including FormerlySerializedAs as part of our ongoing feature development, and will continue to track this request internally.
