Embed Approve/Decline button with Comments

Problem Definition

Currently the design for Approval/Decline button is separated from the comments. If a user adds a comment and clicks on approve/decline, the comment will be lost as the page is refreshed. The issue is transitioned but no comments would be added.

Suggested Solution

1. Use the functionality of a JIRA transition screen where if a an issue is transitioned, a screen to displayed to select required fields and add a comment. Click on add will save the comment and transition the issue.
2. Add a warning if the comment is not added and Approve/Decline is selected, the comment will be lost.

Workaround

Add a comment separately from Approving/Declining the request.
