Duplicate field for Category Issue Field

[Vali Munteanu]

For some reason, I have duplicate category fields for all my issues under one project. When I go to project settings -> Issues Types I only have selected one custom field for the category but when I check the project in the list view, the category is added twice without being able to unselect one, it's either both or none.

Hi Vali,

maybe you've got confused with system and custom fields?

"category" is a system field in order to select each project category/ group so your team can view work across related projects in one place - see https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/add-assign-and-delete-project-categories/

Of course, you can create a custom field with the same name which I highly recommend to avoid because searching for issues will get complicated.
