      Issue Summary

      Automation fails when has two fields with the same name/type, showing the error "Found multiple fields with the same name and type:"

      In case rule has custom filed of type cascading and another custom field with same name exist then rule fails with below error: 
      "Additional fields contains invalid field(s) in 'update' or 'fields' section.
      <field_name>"

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new number custom field in a Next-Gen project
      2. Create a rule to copy the value from this field. Below, follows an example.
      3. Set the rule scope for the Next-Gen project.
      4. Under <instance>.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewCustomFields.jspa create a new number custom field with the same name.
      5. Associated the "number" custom field to a classic project.
      • Reload the rule, and then run the rule.
      • Then will appear the error "Found multiple fields with the same name and type:"

      Expected Results

      When we set the scope of the rule to a Next-Gen project, it should not consider a classic custom field. 

      Actual Results

      Even the rule restricts to the Next-Gen project, appear the error "Found multiple fields with the same name and type:". The rule is considering a field with the same name and type, causing this error. 

      Workaround

      We can change the field name to a different one, and then the rule will run without error.
