When ever i create any field in Jira i can able to create Same name field and field type as well

[Sreenadh]

Hi,

I am having question related to Custom fields in JSM which is I can create name name custom field "N" no.of times which means

if i create Incident Category---with Single choice

i can create Incident Category field again with Single choice.

Why it is allowing me to create in a such a way.

Could any one suggest me the solution for the same.

Hi @Sreenadh 

Each of the field you created has a different unique id. So even they seem to be the same, they are not.

Hi @Alex Koxaras _Relational_ 

Thanks for the response.

1. If i want to create for different different forms will it be a problem

2. How to check the Unique field ID or value.

Thanks,

1. No it will not be a problem, but you have to check the correct field
2. When you go to edit a custom field, you will see its id on the browser

Currently jira allows you to create same custom fields that you can use in different projects
