Create an issue from the code quality report

Problem to solve

When I'm reviewing the code quality report I want to create gitlab issues directly from the report so that data is in the issue, files referenced, etc. and the developer can quickly fix the future issue.

Intended users

Further details

In strategic research, we identified that JIRA + GitLab CI users see the value of having connected workflows for story planning, but are not seeing the value of GitLab Issues inside of CI needs.

Use Cases

  • QE/Dev/Lead are reviewing the full report and want to create an issue for all code quality deficiencies in a single file.
  • QE/Dev/Lead are reviewing the full report and want to create an issue for all code quality deficiencies of a single type.

Proposal

After implementation of the full code quality report there will be a view of all code quality issues in the code base available. Being able to create a GitLab issue from this view that incorporates data from the report will cut down on the copy / paste errors of manually creating the issue.

We should consider how to call out already created issues or how to close stale issues if at all possible before taking this on so we're not just adding noise to the issue list.
