Proposal
As part of a bug discussion, we identified a new feature that would be useful to customers using our vulnerability management-Jira integration. Today, Jira issues created from vulnerability objects include a link back to the corresponding vulnerability details page in GitLab. However, when making a Jira issue from a finding (in the MR security widget or from a pipeline security tab), no such backlink exists because there is not yet a vulnerability object to point at.
The proposal here is to add a backlink to the originating GitLab project URL when creating a Jira issue from a vulnerability finding. We are linking to the project rather than an MR or pipeline as these references are challenging to come by when creating the Jira message payload.
