[3.7] Can't assign "Custom Field" to only 1 contact category

[federone]

hi,

Steps to reproduce the issue

On Joomla 3.7.2 create 2 contact categories:

• Services
• General
  and create to each category the relative contacts.

then create 1 custom field (Mail), for example "test" (text input) and apply to category "Services":

Expected result

that field must show-up only on "Service" category contacts, because it is assigned to "Service" category.

Actual result

that field is visible on "General" category contact too ... also on "Uncategorised" category contacts .. and i guess on all contacts ... but it must show up only on "Services" category contacts, am i right?
every time when i create a new field and assign to specific contact category - they show up on all contacts, no matter on which "contact category" they are assigned ...

Additional comments

am i missing something?

thank you so much,
Federico

i'm sure it is a bug,

assignment for "Mail" custom fields show up on all contacts, no matter in which categories they are assigned.
it is working correctly for "Contact" type custom fields, please check screenshots below:

can you please test it?

thank you so much,

Set issue-Status on "Confirmed". Thanks for Report, @federone

@laoneo can you have a Look at this Issue please? There was a similar Report but i can't remember if it was about "Mail" or another one.

[federone]

any solution for this issue?

thank you so much,
Federico

@federone No Solution as far as i know. It needs a Developer looking in it and write as next Step a Pull Request for testing.
