      Issue Summary

      Using the "Field value changed" trigger in automation, if you have more than one field with the same name, the "Fields to monitor for changes" only finds a single result for it.

      The rule triggers on changes in all fields that have that name.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create 2+ fields with the exact same name (can be of different field types).
      2. Create an automation rule using the trigger "Field value changed."
      3. In "Fields to monitor for changes," type in the names of the fields you just created.
      4. Note that the dropdown only returns a single result, even though there is more than one field with the same name.

      Expected Results

      The dropdown when configuring the rule returns individual results for each of the fields. You can differentiate between the two fields to select which one to monitor.

      Actual Results

      The rule is based on the field name and triggers whenever any of the fields with that name are changed.

      Workaround

      • Rename your fields so they don't have the same name. (recommended)
      • Use the 'work item edited' trigger and add conditions to match your use-case.
