Summary
Email-to-Case Case creation can result in inactive picklist values being created against Priority or Origin field.
Repro
1) Go to the Case Priority Field in setup:
2) On the "Case Priority Picklist Values" section, click "New"
3) Type the value "Issue" into the text area and hit "Save"
4) Now click on "Edit" beside the Issue picklist value and change the "Label" value to "Highest" and hit "Save"
**That picklist value should now be "Highest" as value and "Issue" as API Name
5) Setup Email-to-Case
6) Create a new Routing Address and as the Case Priority choose "Highest"
7) Once validated, send an Email to your new Email-to-Case service Address
8) Go back to the Case Priority Field in setup:
Result: Under "Inactive Values" list you will now see an entry for "Highest" value and "Highest" as API Name
Also if you open the new Case and Edit. Click on the Priority field and you will see "Highest" listed twice indicating it is utilizing the Inactive picklist value entry.
Workaround
For Case Priority and Origin fields, in relation to Email-to-Case at least, using the same value for both Label and API is the only workaround for now.
