Overview

This node operation resets the spent time on a specific merge request within a GitLab project. It is useful for project managers or developers who want to clear the logged time spent on a merge request, for example, to correct time tracking errors or start fresh time tracking for a new phase of work.

Use Case Examples

  1. Resetting spent time on a merge request to correct time tracking errors.
  2. Clearing logged time before starting a new review or development phase on a merge request.
