Inspect both manual creation from a Sentry issue and automatic creation from an Alert. Done means users can set a Parent Feature when creating an Azure DevOps User Story through both paths.

Problem Statement

A user would like to set a link/parent in Azure DevOps when creating a work item from Sentry (automatically or manually). In this case, Sentry creates "User Stories" in Azure, and all these stories need to be linked to a parent "Feature" in Azure.

Solution Brainstorm

The Jira integration allows adding a "Parent" to issues at the moment of Creation:

This request is to create the same feature for the Azure DevOps integration. When creating a new work item manually from a Sentry issue or automatically via an Alert, allow the user to set a Parent link.
