Use export to Excel, then in the new site collection use the app/list called "Import Spreadsheet". This columns lets you upload an excel document and then let's you choose what data you wanna import from the sheet.

It does even creates the right columns types with the same name from the old list.

Data import from Excel spreadsheet to SharePoint list

  • You did not mention that in the original post. The data in excel must be like "ITEM NAME;#ITEM ID" form, and then you can copy the values into the datasheet view.
