To fully utilize the mark up feature in proof, we would like to be able to generate and mark up a proof prior to submitting an issue to the request queue.
Currently, one can upload a doc to a submitted request and then convert it to a proof. Depending on the speed of project conversion, the issue could become a project before the requestor has the opportunity to mark comments, leading to confusion and communication break down between the project converter and the requestor.
Allowing Proof Generation in Issue would provide an opportunity prior to submission for the requestor to make all of their notes in the proof before triggering next steps.
