Linked issues

Linked issues are a bi-directional relationship between any two issues and appear below the issue description. You can link issues in different projects.

The relationship only shows up in the UI if the user can see both issues. When you try to close an issue that has open blockers, a warning is displayed.

Add a linked issue

Prerequisites:

  • You must have at least the Reporter role for both projects.

To link one issue to another:

  1. In the Linked issues section of an issue, select the add linked issue button ().

  2. Input the issue number or paste in the full URL of the issue.

    Issues of the same project can be specified just by the reference number. Issues from a different project require additional information like the group and the project name. For example:

    • The same project: #105
    • The same group: project#105
    • Different group: group/project#105

    Valid references are added to a temporary list that you can review.

  3. When you have added all the linked issues, select Add.

When you have finished adding all linked issues, you can see them categorized so their relationships can be better understood visually.

You can also add a linked issue from a commit message or the description in another issue or MR. Learn more about crosslinking issues.

Remove a linked issue

In the Linked issues section of an issue, click the remove button () on the right-side of each issue token to remove.

Due to the bi-directional relationship, the relationship no longer appears in either issue.
