Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas

Auto link issues (the development field) to the corresponding PR that gets created as part of a working session or copilot cloud agent session.

Alternatively, add an option edit the development field of an issue so we can manually link issues to PRs from within the app.

Research direction

Start by tracing how working sessions and Copilot cloud agent sessions create pull requests, then inspect how the issue Development field is read or updated in the app. Clarify whether the accepted outcome is automatic linking, manual linking from the app, or both; done means the selected behavior reliably links the issue and corresponding PR.
