Allow users to create an issue from within an Epic
See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/5419
Problem to solve
Currently, to associate a new issue with an epic, you must navigate from the epic to the project where you want to create it and then create the issue and copy the url and then navigate back to the epic to paste the URL in to associate the issue with the epic. It would be easier to be able to create the issue directly from the epic.
Intended users
I believe Parker and Delaney will use this the most
Further details
I am trying to simplify the creation of issues and associating them with Epics. If you have a new project and want to create 7 epics and then several issues within each epic, the process takes a lot more clicks than it should.
Proposal
I'd recommend adding an add new issue button next to the existing + button to add an existing issue. The trick will be how to let the user specify which project will the issue go into as we are in the epic at the group level.
