Allow epics to be set or changed from the issue screen
Problem to solve
If I've just created an issue and want to add it to an epic I already know exists, I have to:
- Navigate from project issue to group epics. Typically by tying in the URL manually, it's the fastest option.
- Find the relevant epic in the list
- Open it and add the issue from that screen, by pasting a link to the issue I was just at
Intended users
Further details
Consider this issue: gitlab-shell#181 (closed)
I wanted to add it to this epic: &706 (closed)
It took a while :/
Proposal
Look at this issue sidebar:
Clearly, we just need a little Edit link in the Epic section that allows us to browse and search epics, and to select between options, just as we would do for milestones
Permissions and Security
I don't think we have confidential epics at present, do we?
Documentation
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
I can add a new issue to an existing epic without changing windows, and in ~10 seconds or less
What is the type of buyer?
Usability enhancement to existing epics; I can't see how it would sit in a higher tier than epics generally
