Issue Summary
Custom field having &(ampersand) or '(single quote) symbol in the name is getting replaced with HTML entities in transition screens. For example, '&' is getting replaced with '& ;' and similarly '(single quote) is getting replaced with ' ;.
This seems to be happening for Select List (Cascading), Checkboxes & Date type custom fields.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a Select List (Cascading) or Checkboxes type custom field. The name of the custom field should have '&' symbol. For example: 'R&D Team'
- Add this field to a transition screen
- Transition an issue using the above transition screen.
Expected Results
The transition screen should show 'R&D Team as custom field name.
Actual Results
The screen shows 'R& ;D Team' as custom field name instead of 'R&D Team'
![]()
Workaround
Use 'and' instead of using the '&' symbol.
