Assign epic to a group when creating within another epic
Problem to solve
Currently, when creating an epic within another epic, there is only the option to enter a title and not to assign it to a group.
Solution
Update the "Create new epic" component on an epic view/detail page to include an option for group. This design proposal is using an existing pattern found in the "Create new issue" section when selecting a project. For this issue, only child groups will be available. We will explore other group options in a separate issue.

Intended users
User experience goal
Streamline the user experience when it comes to creating epics by allowing users to bypass the extra steps (and lose context) of having to navigate to groups and create the epic there, simply to create the association with that group.
