Schematic fields are not being named propperly

[Leandro Heck]

MY friend is using the following Kicad and my extra fields on parts are being displayed as Field4 and Field5. They should be named NPM and SKU. The .sch files have the right label there since he got the files from our GitHub. I tried to remove the ~/.config/kicad folder but nothing has changed.

This is a sample of the grep output to show the last word "MPN" in "F 4" lines

sch/peripherals.sch:F 4 "1N4148X-TP" V 9700 5050 50 0001 C CNN "MPN"
sch/power_supply.sch:F 4 "CC0402KRX5R5BB105" H 7700 3750 50 0001 C CNN "MPN"
sch/power_supply.sch:F 4 "C0402C103K4RAC7411" H 7300 3750 50 0001 C CNN "MPN"

I just fixed by replacing all MPN string by the same string. I have now idea what happnend. Even git status didn't show any change.

Actually it was not fixed. I dont know what is going on with version 5.1.5

I was using git filters described here https://jnavila.github.io/plotkicadsch/
Well, these configs were messing with my project. This is not an issue anymore. Sorry to bother you guys.
