Is it possible to execute without using the marker @pytest.mark.xray and allow it to create a new test in xray within the project under a test plan?

Let's say there is no test case created yet in Xray Jira.

def test_page_load():
assert True

When we execute this, is it possible to create a new test in Xray JIRA with name "test_page_load" under the test plan provided?

Context : Lot of test cases prior to using Xray have already been automated. But now there is no binding to those test cases in Xray since they are not there in Jira. Rather than creating all of them manually in JIRA and providing their IDs in the mark.xray tag, is it possible for the library to create those test cases in Jira? and then we could use those IDs in the mark tag.

There is API which creates tests/issues in Jira https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAYCLOUD/Importing+Tests+-+REST+v2
You can easily generate from pytest a json file with a list of tests, which you want to create, that file can be uploaded to Jira. But you cannot provide IDs for your tests, those IDs will be assigned by Jira (It will be somehow random - from a pool of empty ids), so after all you will need to mark your tests manually with proper IDs.

Also you can generate list of tests and upload this file manually from UI with same effect.
