[RFE] Add support for more Gitlab Issue Events and Comments

[sadsfae]

Beyond just creating issues via the Gitlab webhook "Issue Events" webhook category we should also look to support additional payloads like

• Issue comments

A comment is added to an issue or merge request

• Issue Events

An issue is created, updated, closed, or reopened.

Right now transformers work for when an issue is created.

That's going to depend on the Jira webhook automation.

Moreover, we can receive the comment events from Gitlab but I don't think it's possible to link that with an existing Jira issue unless we include the Jira issue id upon creation somewhere on the Gitlab issue (labels?) that we would then have to parse out from the incoming webhook.

There is the possibility of creating a new Jira automation to send a webhook upon ticket creation where we can use Gitlab issue labels to store the Jira ticket ID but we would then have to include functionality on the yaml templating to iterate all the labels and pick the right one with the Jira ticket ID. That's pretty far fetched to me.

I don't think this is in the scope of wppt.

That's fair. Inside the repo settings of Gitlab webhooks there's an additional checkbox for Issue Comments (we just have Issue Events selected) for the payload. It could be that Issue Events including updated will do this anyway.
