Create issues from epics

Problem to solve

When on an Epic page, creating a new issue to attach to that epic requires a new browser window, several clicks, and then copying/pasting the URL. When starting with an epic, it would be far easier to create an issue from the same page, even if just via a title and description, and automatically attach it to the epic.

Target audience

All GitLab subscribers who use epics.

Proposal

When a user clicks the plus sign next to Epics, allow an option to manually enter a Title and Description for a new issue, along with a dropdown to select the project. There could also be an option on whether to inherit the epic's labels. This method would allow a person planning work to create an epic with notes on the work required, and then create the initial issues for that work, without a lot of new windows, copying, and pasting. This streamlines the process for breaking up ideas and work into component parts.
