Description

When creating a new issue I'm unable to set the issue's type. This feels like missing behavior since I can use ${issueType} in the format for issue branch names. Currently when I file an issue and immediately start work on it my branch names start with ${issueType}. And if I add it on the web it takes time before the value syncs locally so I still end up with ${issueType} in my branch name

I've tried adding Type when creating the issue but no such luck.

Is this just a straight forward changes in these spots? (Never done extension development to figure out how to try myself.)
