I'm an active user on Linden Lab's public implementation of jira: https://jira.secondlife.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

We have a high volume of inexperienced users filing issues, often with little or no searching beforehand. And as a result, a high volume of duplicate issues. It gets rather tedious having to click resolve, resolve the issue as a duplicate, then click link, and input the issue key. The slowness of LL's jia server doesn't help matters, but that's beside the point

It would greatly increase efficiency if we could link and resolve an issue on the same page. Particularly for duplicates. It also seems rather illogical to be able to resolve an issue as duplicate without specifying what it's a duplicate of in the first place.
