PR comments should be able to be made into tasks directly

[Thomas Nabelek]

The lack of ability to make a comment into a task directly, rather than having to create the task as a subitem, is silly and results in things like this:

Hi @Thomas Nabelek

Could you confirm if Resolvable comments works for you?

It does not because we use tasks to block a PR from being merged. While there is a "no unresolved pull request tasks" merge check, I don't see one for "no unresolved pull request comments."

And, as you can see in my screenshot above, my comment does not have a Resolve option on it.

Hi @Thomas Nabelek ,

It does not because we use tasks to block a PR from being merged.

You might be interested in the no unresolved checks from Flowie, a Bitbucket app we provide that will block the merge.

I believe only code comments are resolvable. Not sure why 'Create task' is not appearing as according to this anyone with read or higher can create a task. Is the option to create a task in the tasks web panel available to you?

[Thomas Nabelek]

Yes, I can create tasks without issue as that page describes. I didn't realize that creating one from the sidebar without a comment was an option, so that is good to know.

But, I still think a comment should be able to be turned into a task itself. Maybe I'm just too used to GitLab.
