Overview
Any custom field that can take multiple values (multi-select, checkboxes, etc) will return a false positive for missing custom fields on the API call
System.check
.Before
False positives
After
No false positives
Technical Details
The current code assumes that any saved search that has a form value starting with
custom_
will end with an integer (e.g.custom_18
). However, multi-select fields' form values have an operator - e.g.custom_18_operator
). The check grabs18_operator
and compares it to a list of existing custom field IDs, and of course comes up empty.Comments
I confirmed that deleting this field will still correctly trigger a warning. I gave detailed replicated steps on the Gitlab ticket.
