Need to remove system comment field from transition screen

[jared m]

Hi,

I need to remove the system comment field from my transition screens as I'm using a custom field for comments and having both comment fields is confusing tot he end user.

i found this:

<script type="text/javascript">
if(AJS.$('#issue-workflow-transition-submit').val() =='Assign'){
AJS.$('div.comment-input').css('display', 'none');
}
</script>

but it removes the system comment field from the View Screen as well as the transitions.  is there a way to ONLY remove system comment field from a transition screen?

Also, why is the system comment field mandatory???

Thank you

This would be a big help in my projects as well.
