Hello All,

I have an issue with a custom field, someone creates two custom fields in a different group with the same name, this makes a bug on the site.

and I can’t change the fields name because I will lose all the data and I can’t access the DB.

there is a way to get -for example- the second field by id or key or whatever but not by name ??

please advise 🙂

No, you can’t have 2 fields with the same name. The values for the fields are stored in exactly the same place in the DB. One of them will always overwrite the other. You need to rename one of these fields.
