Custom Fields
New to Jira, new to this community, and first post. Be nice...... I have what is probably a dumb question. It's certainly not my first and won't be my last so here goes. Is there a best practice when creating custom fields to keep the naming conventions "coherent"? I will give an example. We created some site locations in assets (For instance a branch office located in Chicago). We added in "Address" as one of the fields and then built that into some automations. However soon after we realized that sometimes we deal with a "physical" address and sometimes it's a "mailing" address. So now we need to go back and fix what we set up. Not a big deal in this case. However, I can see that once you have many different teams and spaces set up, this could get messy very quickly. How to others map this out better from the get go? Any advice would be appreciated.

@Chris Rogers This is great, makes total sense. I was thinking more in terms of how to name them so they are easily identified but what I'm gathering here is that it's best to go the other way and have people use more standardized naming conventions. Thank you!
