Bug Description

I have a Field Name Template in Eeschema preferences called "mpn". This is used in my parts and saved in the schematic. There are also other fields in my schematic's parts, e.g. "Digikey#".

When editing using Edit Symbol Fields, the "mpn" column is shown twice. Editing either changes both. If I remove it from the Field Name Template, it is only shown once.

I have a short, very safe fix for this somewhat embarrassing bug. Not sure whether to merge it to 5.0RC3 or not, though....

Thanks Jeff! Let's see what Wayne says when he gets back but I'd vote for holding onto it until 5.0.1. It's easy enough to ignore/work around.
