Did naming an Achievement Type a "step" cause an issue?

Hi.

I’m using BadgeOS and am very pleased with the plugin overall, but I’m having an issue that requires your assistance.

I’ll start by saying I have a theory as to what the problem is. I have a feeling that the system does not properly deal when you choose to name an “Achievement Types” as “Step”. I have a feeling that conflicts with the notion of steps already baked into BadgeOS.

Here’s why I have this theory — This is the problem I am encountering:

In addition to “badges”, I created two other Achievements Types: “Activities” and “Steps”. The system wouldn’t recognize “Steps” so I created another kind of achievement called a “Milestone”.

I started to populate all three types of achievements.

You earn a “Badge” by completing specific achievements of type “Milestones”.
You earn a “Milestone” by completing specific achievements of type “Activities.”

Each time I used the “Completing Steps” option and in my steps, I chose the “specific achievement of type” option, and I selected “Activity”. Then I designated that Activity and wrote in a specific label for the step. I did not use the default label.

Note here how I put in custom titles for the labels on each step, and saved the achievement:

The curious thing is that when I went to move on to the next Milestone, all of the labels I had added to the steps in the aforementioned achievement were now showing up as Achievement Types themselves. See screenshot (notice all the hyphenated “Achievement Types” listed in the pull-down menu; those were the labels I had added as Steps in the prior Milestone achievement I had created:

Notice also that they appear under the word “Step” – making me wonder if the fact that I had named one of my Achievement Types “Step” is what is messing up the system.

Then I went back to check on something and noted that what I had saved previously as steps didn’t save. Could that be because I had originally called an Achievement Type a “step”?

Here is the list of Achievement Types on my site (my Achievement Types page):

Note the “Step” achievement type I made there, and then note how all the Labels from Steps in my Milestone achievements all started showing up on this page, too — even though I never created those as Achievement Types.

I am using:
BadgeOS 1.4.2
WP 3.9.2
List of other plugins on my site: https://d.pr/i/o6ta

How can I rectify this?

– If the system does not like you creating an Achievement Type called “Step”, it should give you an error and tell you can’t do that when you try. But if it does let you create an Achievement Type called “Step”, it should deal with it smoothly.

So two questions:

1) What do I do to fix this now that it happened on my site?
2) Is there a bug fix needed for BadgeOS to prevent this from happening to me again on my next site?

Thanks for your help!
