      Problem Definition

      Jira allows admins to multiple create custom fields with the same name. The custom fields appear as duplicates even though they are separate fields.

      JQL field searching example:

      There are 2 custom fields with the same name, but they are completely different fields.

      Suggested Solution

      Do not allow Jira to create multiple custom fields with the same name - each custom field must have a unique name.

      Why this is important

      Having multiple custom fields can be confusing, espescially when searching fields or deleting custom fields.

      Workaround

      No known workarounds.
