Hello,
i'm going to migrate project server from 2013 to project online, i found resources for how to move projects to Project online but i didn't find any resources for how to move (project Calendar, risks & issues Lists, reports and custom enterprise field), so if anyone has the same experience please advise me.
thanks in advance,

Closed projects are still the same as an open project in terms of what is migrated - I guess you just have a custom field such as "Status" with Open, closed etc. so these will migrate the same way you plan to migrate open projects? Risks and Issues - are you talking about SharePoint item version history? If so, check with a SharePoint migration tool to see if they support what you need. SSRS reports could be reworked to use something like Power BI. I'd recommend working with a Microsoft PPM partner to give you advice for the migration as they could talk about your specific requirements - it's potentially a large topic for a forum query.

Hello,
I would look at 3rd party tools such as:
Fluentbooks for the Project PWA data and config: https://fluentpro.com/fluentbooks-migration-solution
SharePoint tool such as Metalogix / Sharegate to migrate the SharePoint side of things.

Hello,
The only manual step is to type the config out again but that would generate new GUIDs for the fields and look up values which would mean they wouldn't link up to your manually import project plans. These 3rd party tools all use public APIs so you could build you own tools / scripts (it would be a lot of work though!).
To migrate SP list data - you could set up the sites and lists on the target then manually export each list to Excel them import / copy from Excel into the target list. There is also a Microsoft SharePoint migration tool that might help here but I've not used it for a long time: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/introducing-the-sharepoint-migration-tool

Hello,
You asked about historical data? What historical data do you mean? You mentioned custom reports - what are these custom reports, Excel, SSRS, something else?
