User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.146 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Manually add a field to the table [BUGS], called [TESTER] and has the same function as the [QA_CONTACT] field, also add index and its corresponding record in the table [FieldDefs]. 

Find all code within the project and copy everything about the field [QA_CONTACT] and add the code to the [TESTER], its variables, its constants, etc.. 

Now compile the entire project [PERL CHECHSETUP.pl] command and the field appears on pages me, if there is a value on the database, it displays perfectly. 


Actual results:

The problem recide when I store a value through the page, choose a username and not save anything in the database, nor mark any errors. 

How can I know where is the problem? 
How can I compilal the project so that reflects me if there is any problem with the code?


Expected results:

Users should keep the [TESTER] field in the table [BUGS]

This is a support question. See http://www.bugzilla.org/support for help. Also, you should *never* play with the DB directly as checksetup.pl cannot detect them.
