It is useful for developers and project managers who want to track issues linked to a particular merge request to understand dependencies or related work items. For example, it can be used to fetch all issues related to a merge request to review their status before merging code changes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch related issues for merge request IID 42 in project with ID 'my-group/my-project' to review dependencies before merging.
  2. Retrieve related issues to automate notifications or updates in project management tools.
