Update Milestone Report page

Release notes

You can now view epics alongside issues and tasks in the Milestone Report, providing a complete picture of all work associated with your milestones. This enhancement builds on the ability to assign milestones to epics, creating a unified view that shows both strategic initiatives (epics) and tactical work (issues) in a single report.
