The REQ-1 style IID of the requirement is being deprecated. The UI needs to be updated to show the new identifier on

  • Requirement detail view (click on a requirement to open the drawer)

Original description

@felipe_artur mentioned in #329435 (comment 1165768324):

We are also showing iids at requirements list, when this deprecation happens are we going to start showing the work item iid?

As of the time of writing, in our Requirements index page we show the REQ-1 style IID of the requirement - this maps to the dedicated requirement object. (see https://gitlab.com/issue-reproduce/charliecharlie123/-/requirements_management/requirements for an example)

As we're moving to Work Items and dedicated requirement objects are being deprecated and removed in &9203, we should handle how this should appear in:

  • the requirements index page
  • the Work Items index page

Perhaps both should appear while the IID is being deprecated, with clear messaging that it will be phased out and not to rely on it.
