<!-- This issue template can be used as a great starting point for feature requests. The section "Release notes" can be used as a summary of the feature and is also required if you want to have your release post blog MR auto generated using the release post item generator: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/blog/release-posts/#release-post-item-generator. The remaining sections are the backbone for every feature in GitLab. The goal of this template is brevity for quick/smaller iterations. For a more thorough list of considerations for larger features or feature sets, you can leverage the detailed [feature proposal](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/issue_templates/Feature%20proposal%20-%20detailed.md). --> ### Release notes <!-- What is the problem and solution you're proposing? This content sets the overall vision for the feature and serves as the release notes that will populate in various places, including the [release post blog](https://about.gitlab.com/releases/categories/releases/) and [Gitlab project releases](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/releases). " --> ### Problem to solve As part of the OKR rollout, we introduced inline creation for Objectives. This was due to not having a create page for work items and the tight timeline. This is a different pattern from Issues. We should bring the two experiences together. #### Scope - Solve for how users create new epics, issues, tasks, OKRs and KRs. - Solve for creating from different locations - within a planning object, globally from the main nav, from a board or list page, etc. #### Objective creation experience  #### Issue creation experience  ### Proposal There are a couple of options: * Create a work item creation experience similar to issues with a dedicated view * Change the issue creation experience to be inline like work items * Provide the ability to choose inline or "full-page" creation for both issues and work items * Single click "create type" to create type and automatically open newly created work item in a drawer. More details are in this comment https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/387214#note_1229325558 * Another great idea I haven't thought of :smile_cat: For reference, there are some initial sketches in the issue - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/385313+ ### Intended users <!-- Who will use this feature?
