Custom field name varying in issue view as compared to filter view for the same issue.

[Saurabh Chaurasia]

Hi,

I happen to have found myself in a rather odd issue. I have two custom fields of date type & with same name but different letter casing in the issues on my project. One is 'Due Date' and the other is named as 'due date'. I am entering data in 'Due Date' in the issue view but while filtering issues in 'Filters' I see the same entry reflecting under 'due date' column. Refer the images below.

 Moreover, I am not able to see 'Due Date' as one of the available options while configuring columns for the filter.

Any explanation on why am I would be seeing this kind of behaviour?

Hi Saurabh,

Is this a team-managed or company-managed project? 

Can you go to Settings > Issues > Custom fields and search for due, and what comes up?

Hi John,

this is a company-managed project

This is what i see in custom fields settings

second and third in the list are the concerned fields

Yeah, that's the problem them - You shouldn't have all of those custom fields with the same name!! Plus there is a built-in system field called Due date. That's the field that should be used. These other fields should be deleted or have the names changed.

Thanks John. I was thinking on the same lines.
