Overview

This node operation deletes a custom attribute from a specific project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing project metadata by removing custom attributes that are no longer needed or relevant. For example, if a project has a custom attribute used for tracking a specific internal process and that attribute is obsolete, this operation can remove it to keep the project data clean.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a custom attribute 'release_version' from project with ID 12345 to update project metadata.
  2. Removing a deprecated custom attribute 'internal_code' from a project to maintain accurate project information.
