Cannot {0} issue "{1}" as it has workspaces

Error message

Cannot {0} issue "{1}" as it has workspaces

What it means

DefaultIssueService.delete calls checkNoWorkspaces first: an issue with attached workspaces (running or saved dev environments) cannot be deleted because the workspaces would be orphaned. The formatted message names the operation and issue.
