Auto Fill Owner and Repo when creating issues

[dieskim]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When we click Create Issue we have to manually fill in all the details every time - Owner and Repo

Describe the solution you'd like Auto Fill Owner and Repo when creating issues - these values for Owner and Repo could be set per team and channel, per channel would be best for our use case, that way every channel could be set to one repo?

@dieskim Can you tell me a bit more about the auto fill scenario. We can choose to auto fill based on the most recent used repo. Does that work for you.

Hi @ashokirla - thank you for looking into this.

• We currently have different Teams Channels Subscribed to different Github Repos.
• With this setup it makes sense that if you want to create a new Github Issue from the @github menu or the Github Icon button from within the Microsoft Channel it would automatically fill in the Owner + Repo that that Channel is Subscribed to.

Now I am not sure if you can currently subscribe a whole Team or Org to a Repo - but in that case it could fill that one in also.

As for filling in the most recent used Repo - I think that could also work, but maybe it should prioritize the repo the channel is subscribed to if making an issue from that channel?

Our Current use case is that:

1. We are using a Github Repo as a Ticket System - it would be nice to be able to create an issue to that repo from anywhere in teams.
2. We have different Teams Channels Subscribed to different Github Repos - it would then be nice to be able to create issues to those repo from the Channel directly

Having to fill in the Owner and Repo every time is a but frustrating - especially when the owner names and repo names are rather complicated. At that point its faster to just got to Github and do it from there.

Let me know if you need more info Thanks
