Possible mis application of FormerlySerializedAs attribute to multiple fields

This inspection will warn if the [FormerlySerializedAs]
attribute is applied to multiple fields, in the following syntax:
[FormerlySerializedAs("value")] public int value1, value2, value3;
When an attribute is applied to a field declaration that is declaring multiple fields, the attribute is applied to each field, and is equivalent to:
[FormerlySerializedAs("value")] public int value1;
[FormerlySerializedAs("value")] public int value2;
[FormerlySerializedAs("value")] public int value3;
The [FormerlySerializedAs]
attribute is not intended to be used in this manner, and should only be applied to a single field declaration.
The inspection provides a Alt+Enter quick fix to split the declarations, so that the [FormerlySerializedAs]
attribute can be explicitly set on the required fields.
See the documentation for more details on the intended usage of the [FormerlySerializedAs]
attribute.
This inspection was first added in Rider/ReSharper 2018.2.
