Hi all,

With an external analyser, I am importing issues into sonarcloud. It is easy to add a message to the imported issue but is there any way to add a description? I think the error message alone is not enough for the developers to understand and solve the problem.

If this is not possible, do you plan to add this feature?

Have a nice day !

Hi,

I’ve moved your topic to the “Suggest new features” category since that functionality doesn’t exist.

Hi,

Thank you. So, by clicking on “Why is this an issue”, we can’t change the details of the issue, can we?

Have a nice day

Hi !

Thank you, so here is my suggestion:

When importing an issue with the generic format, be able to add a description to it. This could, for example, be written in the tab that appears when you click on the “Why is this an issue” button.

If you plan to add this feature, could you edit my ticket?

Have a nice day
