Symptoms

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:

When calling a User Defined Field (UDF) WBS, it replaces the original WBS option instead of showing 2 options to select from.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

The WBS option should be shown along with the UDF with the same name.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Login to P6.
2. Open Project (Make sure there is an Activity UDF called "WBS").
3. Go to Group and Sort for the Project.
4. Select Group By WBS.
5. User not able to select anything except Level and Apply.
6. Later it is not showing any WBS (basic Layout).

This is because it is Grouping by the UDF called "WBS" (which is not assigned to this Project) instead of the WBS structure.
