Ideas Intake v1.0.0 solution is incompatible with other solutions

I tried to install the Ideas Intake solution, but it throws an error because of the custom field "Estimated Effort". This field is also introduced by other solutions. On the same account this custom field existed for Traditional Project and Capability (Epic) entity, but with different configuration. For the Ideas Intake solution it is created as a number field, but for the other entities it has been created as a dropdown custom field. The custom fields need to somehow unified across all solutions in the solution library.

It seems like there is a draft 1.0.1 that already fixes the issue but it is not yet released.
