Browsing Issues

The GitLab Issues tool window lets you browse, filter, and search issues across your configured repositories. Open it via View | Tool Windows | GitLab Issues.

Issue support requires GitLab 13.12 or later.

Search Scope

Use the scope dropdown at the top of the tool window to choose which repository's issues are shown. Each configured repository has its own scope.

Filters

The filter bar shows a configurable set of filters. Use the All Filters action in the toolbar to access every available filter, choose which ones appear in the filter bar, and save the current combination of filters as a reusable preset.

Text Filter

Type in the search field to filter issues by text. The search is case-insensitive.

Field Filters

Additional filters let you narrow issues by State (open or closed), Label, Assignee, and Author.

Sorting

Use the Sorting action in the toolbar to change the order of the issue list.

Creating and Refreshing

  • Click Create Issue in the toolbar to open a new issue.
  • Use the Refresh Issues action to reload the list from GitLab.

Context Menu

Right-click an issue in the list to open it, Open in Browser, Copy Link, or Copy ID. The menu also includes Refresh Issues and Create Issue.
