Revert Label Removal Behavior on Issue Board Closure
Summary
In milestone %16.8, a change was introduced via #428928 (closed) to resolve a bug discovered by an internal team member. This change prevented the automatic removal of labels when issues were moved to the closed list on an issue board, a behavior that had been in place for more than 7 years.
Once releases, we received feedback from the community which highlighted the adverse impact of this change on their workflows. Users have expressed that the previous behavior was integral to their workflow management, with the new change introducing unnecessary complexity and disrupting established processes.
Given the feedback and the unintended consequences of this change, this issue has been created to revert the behavior back to its original state, where moving an issue to the closed list would automatically remove its workflow label.
Although this was not intended functionality, we want to prioritize user experience and workflow efficiency by reinstating the flexibility and functionality our community has come to rely on over the years.
Additional Information
As noted in this comment, the issue extends to the open list as well. "Please be aware that this bug/functionality/feature does not only apply to moving an issue to the "Closed" list, but as well to moving an issue to the "Open" list. The previous and desired behavior is that moving an issue to the "Open" list removes the label as well."
Additional note, I believe the change we made cause the behavior reported in: #438317 (closed)
