Fix: Should not be possible to add action item within new issue description #6707
Description
Currently, it is possible to type / in a new issue description and select Action item from the dropdown menu. Selecting Action item does nothing and should be removed from the menu as an option.
On one hand, we cannot create todos (action items) until the issue is created, because it can remain in draft or user can close the dialog without creating the issue.
On the other hand, if I want to add an action item to the issue description, I would like to be able to do it here as well, otherwise I will have to modify description after the issue is created.

Since #7397, the editor used for the new-issue description no longer offers 'Action item' in its '/' command menu, and the '+' insert menu does not include it either. Action items can still be added from the issue page once the issue exists. This looks resolved, so the issue could be closed.

@AbigailDawson — based on the check described above, this looks resolved in the current code. Could you please close this issue if you agree? If you think it is not fixed yet, please describe what still goes wrong (steps, expected vs. actual behaviour), so it can be looked at again.
