Proposal

Summary

Extend the existing feature of moving an unresolved thread in a GitLab merge request to an issue, by adding the capability to create a corresponding issue in Jira.

Description

Currently, GitLab allows users to move an unresolved thread in a merge request to a GitLab issue. This proposal aims to extend this functionality to create an issue in Jira directly from an unresolved thread in a GitLab merge request. This would streamline the workflow for teams that use both GitLab for code management and Jira for issue tracking.

Technical Details

1. Add a "Create Jira Issue" button next to the existing "Create issue to resolve thread" button in the thread actions.
2. Clicking this button would open a modal to fill in the details for the Jira issue.
3. The thread would be linked to the newly created Jira issue, and a comment would be added to the thread mentioning the Jira issue ID.
