Add a custom commit message when applying batched suggestions

Release notes

Problem to solve

When applying a single MR suggestion, you can write a custom commit message. But when applying a batch of MR suggestions, the custom commit message dialog is not presented.

I noticed @jerasmus started work on this on !49102 (closed) a few months ago, but that MR was closed. I couldn't find an open issue tracking that feature, so I'm opening this one to make sure it doesn't get lost.

Related: #25486 (closed) and #25381 (closed)

Intended users

  • Sasha (Software Developer)

User experience goal

Proposal

Further details

This matters for my team's workflow since we have a custom update hook that requires commit messages to have a certain format. (The project-wide merge suggestion commit message template isn't adequate for this, since our custom update hook requires the corresponding issue number, which isn't one of the available variables for that template.)

Permissions and Security

  • Same permissions as for writing a custom commit message for a single suggestion

Documentation

  • Mention in a new subsection of https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/discussions/#suggest-changes

Availability & Testing

Available Tier

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?

Is this a cross-stage feature?
