I confirm this, but it affects all forms of creating new fields in the attributes table of shapefiles, as follows:
- Layer Properties:
I can only create (New column) fields of type "date". For all other types (integer, real, string), I get this error:
Name conflict: The attribute could not be inserted. The name already exists in the table.
(Note: Obviously there is no field with the same name I'm assigning).
- Attribute Table:
I can only create (New column) fields of type "integer" and "date". For "real" or "string", I get this error:
Attribute Error: The attribute could not be added to the layer
- Field Calculator:
I can only create (Create a new field) fields of type "date". For all other types (integer, real, string), I get this error:
Provider error: Could not add the new field to the provider.
With PostGIS data, everything works fine.
Tested on Windows 7 (64bits), with QGIS master 2.3.0-105 (OSGeo4W 64bits).

Sorry Martin,
I was writing in the ticket and meanwhile you assigned it to yourself. However when I submitted, it blacked out.
Anyway, I added some information, indicating the different tools affected by the creation fields problem.
Your changes fixes everything, right?
Thank you very much Martin!
