WVS quick actions

Quick actions are text-based shortcuts for common actions that are usually done by selecting buttons or dropdowns in the WVS Web-App. You can enter these commands in the descriptions or comments of issues, epics, merge requests, and commits.

Be sure to enter each quick action on a separate line to allow WVS to properly detect and execute the commands.

Parameters

Many quick actions require a parameter. For example, the /assign quick action requires a username. WVS uses autocomplete characters with quick actions to help users enter parameters, by providing a list of available values.

If you manually enter a parameter, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks ("), unless it contains only these characters:

  • ASCII letters
  • Numbers (0-9)
  • Underscore (_), hyphen (-), question mark (?), dot (.), ampersand (&) or at (@)

Parameters are case-sensitive. Autocomplete handles this, and the insertion of quotation marks, automatically.

Issues and merge requests
