Overview

This node operation allows users to create links between issues in a GitLab project by making a POST request to the GitLab API endpoint for issue links. It is useful for managing and associating related issues within a project, facilitating better issue tracking and project management. For example, linking a bug report issue to a feature request issue to indicate dependency or relation.

Use Case Examples

  1. Linking two related issues in a GitLab project to track dependencies or related work items.
  2. Creating an association between a parent issue and a sub-issue for better project organization.
