As a User, I want Jira to honour JQL searches with custom field names if there are multiple fields with same names

If two fields have same name, the JQL search is not working as expected. In case of an accidental duplicate field creation, Jira should honour the filters created before the duplication happened.

This may cause many automation/filters to break unexpectedly.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a custom field of type group picker, give it some name ("My Search Field")
2. Add it to a project and screen
3. Create an issue with the field "My Search Field" filled with any group (jira-software-users)
4. Do a JQL search

   "My Search Field" = jira-software-users

   

1. Create another custom field with same name of type text field.
2. Do the same JQL search, it will throw error
   

PS: The sequence of these fields creation won't matter as even if the text field is created first followed by the group picker, the error will come.

Workarounds

• Use field IDs in JQL search

  cf[id] = 'value'

• Rename one of the fields
• Avoid same name
