      Notes

      Possibly caused by JRA-19422, which was fixed in JIRA 4.0.1.
      Problem: When deleting a custom field context for a select custom field, the options created are not deleted. They remain in the customfieldoption table, with references to a fieldconfiguration (custom field context) that no longer exists (because it was deleted).

      The table structure for involved tables: fieldconfigschemeissuetype, fieldconfiguration, fieldconfigscheme, customfieldoption

      • fieldconfigschemeissuetype.fieldconfiguration maps to fieldconfiguration.id
      • fieldconfigschemeissuetype.fieldconfigscheme maps to fieldconfigscheme.id
      • customfieldoption.customfieldconfig maps to fieldconfiguration.id

      You can check data consistency by running followings SQLs

      // Check orphaned records in fieldconfiguration vs fieldconfigschemeissuetype 
select fc.id from fieldconfiguration fc left join fieldconfigschemeissuetype fcsit on (fc.id = fcsit.fieldconfiguration) where fcsit.id is null order by fc.id;

// Check orphaned records in fieldconfigschemeissuetype vs  fieldconfiguration 
select fcsit.id,fcsit.fieldconfiguration from fieldconfigschemeissuetype fcsit left join fieldconfiguration fc on (fc.id = fcsit.fieldconfiguration) where fc.id is NULL;

// Check orphaned records in customfieldoption vs fieldconfiguration 
select distinct(customfieldconfig) from customfieldoption where customfieldconfig not in (select id from fieldconfiguration );

      They should return 0 records in normal condition.
