    Description

      Please restore the old transition screen behavior that made it easy and intuitive to close or resolve tasks on the Task Board.

      Previously the Greenhopper transition screen presented the user with an option to close or resolve a task when a card was dropped in the done column. On the same screen the remaining estimate was automatically set to 0, with the ability to be changed. Also when the tranition was completed the burndown graph would automatically show the correct reduction in outstanding hours, even though the user was not required to log work on the close / resolve transition.

      In version 5.3 the user is now presented with the standard Jira transition screen, which presents the following extremely annoying behaviors:
      1. The user now has to log work manually to correctly update the burndown graph
      2. The "Log Work" field is not included by default on the transition screen, so to get a working system out of the box the user have to change a standard build-in screen.
      3. Due to 1. and 2. above the user frequently forgets to log work and then closes the isue. In this case to fix the burndown graph, the administrator has to filter through all the
      closed issues that might have inaccurate / incomplete work log entries, reopen them, and then close them while logging the matching number of hours to reflect a correct burndown graph.
      4. The remaining estimate is not automatically set to 0, so together with all of the above, renders a very tedious and cumborsome Task Board expirience.
