    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      We have a long list of issues caused by the warning we give went a form is partially filled and you navigate away from the page without finishing.

      There are three ways to fix this that I can see:

      1. Remove the dirty warnings javascript all together and rely on the browser to warn the user.
      2. Make the dirty form code selective in that you have a list of the forms it applies to.
      3. Make the dirty form code less picky eg. 3 form elements have changed or a text field has an additional 140 characters.

      I kinda like the third option but initially want to investigate the best way to go forward.
