Overview

• EE
• Currently gitlab has the ability to create a branch that relates to an issue via a button in the UI. This works only for the issue if the issue is within the same project as the issue generate
• It would be great to have the ability to generate a branch and using the branch name relate it to any project issue. As issues can only be linked to projects im guessing we would need the group and project where the issue resides...

i.e the branch below when MR'd would auto link to the specific groups project and issue

git checkout feature/groupb-projecta-123
