[#20406] - Custom fields rendered twice?

?

Steps to reproduce the issue

Hello, I'm tring to get my articles custom fields to show on the category page.
I managed to do it, but I'm having a weird issue.
I created 2 custom fields.
When I print custom fields array on my page, I get them twice.

I call the fields like :

JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php');
$jcFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $item, true);
$array = json_decode(json_encode($jcFields), true);
print_r($array);

Did I call them wrong ?
Is this the way it should work ?

I can call each diffrent value with :

echo $array[0]['rawvalue'];
echo $array[2]['rawvalue'];

But it's a bit confusing..

In the print_r result we can see that custom field with same ID appears twice.

Expected result

Array

Additional comments

I get the same issue with :

JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php');
$jcFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $item, true);
print_r($jcFields);

json_decode and json_encode are not causing this.

Instead of

$jcFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $item, true);

Try

$jcFields = !empty($item->jcfields)
  ? $item->jcfields
  : FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $item, true);

Hi @ggppdk,
Sorry for the late answer, I just noticed it.
I tried your code, but result is the same.

What I'm trying here is to get the value of specific custom fields in articles category page.

Anyway I managed to get the result I needed with:

JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php');
$jcFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $item, true);

$myCustomFields = array();
foreach($jcFields as $field) {
    $myCustomFields[$field->name] = $field->value;
}

$GLOBALS['myCustomFields'] = $myCustomFields;

print_r($GLOBALS['myCustomFields']);

Here I get also same result with:

$jcFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $item, true);

And:

$jcFields = !empty($item->jcfields)
    ? $item->jcfields
    : FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $item, true);

If you mean that their rendering code is executed twice then yes it is executed twice

their HTML display (their "value" property) is created
once for automatic display and once for manual display

see description in my old PR here:
#17895
