Issue created from Project Security Dashboard does not have a Create MR button

Summary

Issue created from Project Security Dashboard does not have a Create MR button

Steps to reproduce

Assume that there is a vulnerability found via SAST or Dependency scanning on a project (on master). View the vulnerability on the Project Dashboard. The popup showing the details of the vulnerability is displayed. On that popup, click the Create Issue button. Once the Issue is created, Note that there is no Create Merge Request button on this issue. How does a developer work on the issue if there isn't a way to create an MR straight from the issue which seems to have captured all relevant security information (such as the CVE and therefore a link to how to fix it)?

Example Project

(If possible, please create an example project here on GitLab.com that exhibits the problematic behavior, and link to it here in the bug report)

(If you are using an older version of GitLab, this will also determine whether the bug is fixed in a more recent version)

What is the current bug behavior?

Issue is created but no Create MR button is displayed on the issue.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Issue is created and would show the Create MR button.
