Overview

This node operation resets the time estimate for a specific merge request in a GitLab project. It is useful for project managers or developers who want to clear or reset the time tracking estimate associated with a merge request, helping to keep time tracking accurate and up to date. For example, if the initial time estimate was incorrect or needs to be recalibrated, this operation can be used to reset it.

Use Case Examples

  1. Resetting the time estimate of a merge request after re-evaluating the required work.
  2. Clearing the time estimate before starting a new phase of work on a merge request.
