Since the EDIT button has been removed and we can now edit all fields directly in the issue view we have been struggling with getting too many "issue edited" notifications. While this "in-view" edit is fine for small/single field changes it's not ideal when changing multiple fields at the same time.
As a workaround we have done the following and I thought I share this here in case you have the same challenge:
1. create a new screen (e.g. "<project>: Edit View") and add all fields you wish to edit
2. create a new transition in the workflow (from any status to itself) which uses the newly created screen as the transition view.
If you need to make this transition available in certain status only or restrict it to certain users, you may want to add some conditions to the transition.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Thomas
