The spell id mechanic is not working in grid2 for custom buffs/debuffs. If you add a custom buff or debuff via spell id, grid2 will replace the spell id with the name of the buff/debuff. This  makes the spell id mechanic not working because there are a lot of spells with the same name but different spell id.

Example: 

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=102351/cenarion-ward (Initial spell to protect a target for 30 seconds)

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=102352/cenarion-ward (ticking hot when hit in that 30 sec, new 8 sec tick timer)

Both named the same but different spell id. The moment you add 102352 into grid2, grid2 will replace it just into "Cenarion ward" and ignore the spell id. Making the watch of just 102352 not possible. It will show for both 102351 and 102352.

Idea to fix this: You need to keep both name and spell id. Name for naming in the list, and spell id for internally uniquely recognizing the buff/debuff.

Working fine here.  Did you check the "Track by SpellID" option in the buff/debuff configuration ?

Remember that you can use prefixes too when you write the spell name (the aura editbox tooltip displays some examples), for example,  you can write:

DirectHeal>102351 or HOT>102352 or Druid@102351 or  WhatEver#122351

and the spellID is internally remembered and the status name is converted to:

DirectHeal>Cenarion Ward /  HOT>Cenarion Ward  / Druid@Cenarion Ward  / WhatEver@Cenarion Ward

Anyway you can always type any arbitrary name, and then go to the "Aura  Name or Spell ID" option and change de spellID and spell track method.

@michaelsp Thank you so much and I apologize for my ticket. I didnt know this was needed to check, I thought it would work "automatically". Maybe you could change it, when someone enters a spellide, that grid2 checks the "by unique spellid" automatically and enters it there instead of using the name?
