Overview

This node operation deletes a specific release asset link from a GitLab project release. It is useful for managing release assets by removing outdated or incorrect links associated with a release tag in a project. For example, if a release asset link is no longer valid or needed, this operation can be used to delete it programmatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a release asset link by specifying the project ID, release tag name, and the link ID to remove an obsolete asset link from a release.
  2. Automating cleanup of release asset links in CI/CD pipelines to maintain accurate release information.
