      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 '&amp ;' and similarly '(single quote) is getting replaced with &#39 ;.
      This seems to be happening for Select List (Cascading), Checkboxes & Date type custom fields.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Select List (Cascading) or Checkboxes type custom field. The name of the custom field should have '&' symbol. For example: 'R&D Team'
      2. Add this field to a transition screen
      3. 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&amp ;D Team' as custom field name instead of 'R&D Team'

      Workaround

      Use 'and' instead of using the '&' symbol.
