With the introduction of the Team (team picker field), we are finding some problems with it that we're hoping someone else has come up with a solution.
Background: We created a Team custom field 3 or 4 years ago. It is a drop down list which we control with contexts and is maintained by the Jira admins. Our "teams" contain a list of actual team names, not the "team" from the Teams menu option. We are now up to 203 projects that utilize this field. Now that there is a built-in Team field, we have duplicate fields when trying to add the Team field (ours) to a screen. There is no way to tell when on a screen config which Team field to select from the dropdown.
Moreover, the screens that did not have our Team field on them now have the team picker Team field showing up on them causing confusion with our customers. Switching to the team picker is not an option here. Changing 203 projects to use the new field would break so many things (filters, dashboards, reports, automations, etc.). I tried renaming our team field in the sandbox and that broke a bunch of stuff as well.
Has anyone else come across this or have any suggestions for us to like turn off the use of this new field? Or do we just have to continue to deal with this.
