Allow only part of an issue description to be filled by a query parameter
Problem to solve
In a ticket system, you might want a button that lets you open a GitLab issue including a link to the current conversation as context. This isn't possible at the moment, as while you can use the issue[description]
query parameter, this undesirably overwrites the entire default issue template.
Intended users
Anyone creating issues with the query parameter.
Further details
NA
Proposal
Allow template authors to specify where the description query parameter should live. If this wasn't specified in the template, then GitLab would fall back to the current behaviour.
Permissions and Security
NA
Documentation
This would just need a documentation update here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/create_new_issue.html#new-issue-via-url-with-prefilled-fields
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Ability to specify part of an issue description as a query parameter without overwriting the entire default issue template.
