Description

When I move an issue to a different project change its tracker I get two submit buttons to choose from:

  1. Move
  2. Move and Follow

The button I want is always Move and follow because I generally need to edit the issue after moving it:

  1. If I moved it to a new project the categories and user lists will often be different and I need to check and/or change those values.
  2. If I just changed the tracker it is normally to enable other behaviour and I need to set Status or add sub tasks.

Even when I want to change nothing it is nice to have confirmation that it moved successfully. When I edit an Issue it saves back to the issue display page - I think it is reasonable that Move would do the same, and so I suggest that Move and Follow is what people want to do >90% of the time, and that the times they mistakenly click Move instead they regret - it brings you to a list view of the project you were in, which is generally not a useful place to be.

In this case I believe less is more.

  • Status changed from New to Closed
  • Resolution set to Fixed

The feature to move a single issue was unified into edit_issue page in r8531 and the dedicated page was removed in r8533. So, you don't see "Move" and "Move and follow" buttons when moving an issue in Redmine 1.4.0 or later.
