References between issues and discussions

[okuramasafumi]

Currently we can refer to issues from discussions but cannot refer to discussions.
It's often the case when we start talking about the specific problem in Issues and soon we find ourselves discussing how we solve it. In this kind of situation, we'd be happy if we start discussions from issues and refer back the result of the discussion to the issue.
This is partly because discussions support threading and answering while issues don't.

It'd be ideal if we could create issues from discussions and create discussions from issues.

Hi @okuramasafumi

Since "Discussions" and "Issues" are totally different. Both has different meaning when it comes to problems. So better to use them accordingly.

[okuramasafumi]

That's the point. We start creating an issue and after some time notice we actually want to use discussions!

This will help you #2952

[okuramasafumi]

Thanks, but I'd rather want to connect issues and discussions.

Got your point. at the moment only these feature's are available :

Reference :

Sounds like a duplicate of:

• Discussion should be able to link to issue and versa visa, like issues to issues. #2971

Any updates here?
