Due Date Field Duplicated

Question

I am new to Jira and am setting up a demo project.

I added a custom field Due Date and then later on read that to automatically enable a Due Date I need to change the permission scheme to schedule issues.

I did this but now I see one Due Date in Custom Fields but two in Field Configurations and two appear when in the drop down when I want to add the field to a screen.

Question : When the permission scheme is changed to schedule issue does the Due Date appear automatically in custom fields or should it not appear at all there ?

Thanks Nic. I guess that when you enable schedule issues that the Due Date field appears automatically ? I solved this problem by removing the due date field from my  issues, deleting the custom field I had created, then I was left with only one Due Date field (which I had not created).

Due date should be in the list of custom fields once, as it's a custom field you added.  There's only one time I can think that it won't be there, but you'd be missing other custom fields as well.  I'd take another look!

The permission scheme won't affect that list at all.
