Problem to solve
Deployments are currently only associated with an issue in Jira when they are created via a pipeline associated with the Jira issue. If you create a deployment via the Deployments API that is associated with a commit/branch that is already linked to a Jira issue, the relevant deployment does not show up in Jira.
Proposal
We should associate deployments created via the Deployments API with their relevant issues in Jira when using the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud application. Some users rely on external CI/CD tooling to handle their deployment processes and utilize this API endpoint to create/update deployments accordingly. With this functionality added, these users could more easily ensure these deployments appear in Jira.
