Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific issue link from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for users who want to fetch detailed information about the relationship between issues within a project, such as dependencies or related issues. For example, a project manager can use this node to get the details of how two issues are linked in a project to better understand issue dependencies.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve the link details between two issues in a GitLab project to analyze issue dependencies.
  2. Fetch a specific issue relationship to display in a project management dashboard.
