What happened?

Go to Components -> Contacts and then fields.
Notice the current URL
(optional ) create the fields among different context
Now change the context to Mail or Category
see the changes in URL

When switching to mail from contact, Mail fields are displayed correctly but url remains this
index.php?option=com_fields&view=fields&context=com_contact.contact

and when switching back to Contact
url becomes: index.php?option=com_fields&view=fields&context=com_contact.mail

Same with the Context Category.

Version

6.0

Expected result

The URL should match with currently selected context.

Actual result

The dropdown shows correct Fields according to the context .
But when changing the context from default to another like Mail or Category . The URL does not matches with the current selected context .

System Information

5.4, 6.0

Additional Comments

Looks like the mismatch between the filter state and how the URL is built/applied.

Can confirm. And the same happens for the content fields (swtching between articles and categories).

its no different to the url not changing when you apply a filter

Go to Components -> Contacts -> Fields
"Contact" is selected by default. The URL shows only the context

Image

Change to Mail
The URL has now the view (field) and the context is com_contact.contact

Image

Change to Category
The context changes to com_contact.mail

Image

Change back to Contact
The context changes to com_contact.categories

Context is not in sync with the selected box. I never paid attention to that. Expected behavior? Maybe, I don't know.
