Cannot issue " " 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.

Solutions

1. Delete or detach the workspaces associated with the issue first.
2. Retry deletion only after issue.getWorkspaces() is empty.
