Creating and Editing Issues

Issue support requires GitLab 13.12 or later.

Creating an Issue

Open the Create Issue dialog in one of these ways:

• Click Create Issue in the GitLab Issues tool window toolbar.
• Right-click an issue in the list and select Create Issue.

Fill in the title, description, assignee, and labels.

Title and Description

The description is Markdown, and typing @ mentions a user.

The Actions link next to the Description label offers:

• Use Template — fill the description from one of the project's description templates.
• Reset to Default — apply the project's default issue description template, when one is configured.

Editing an Issue

To edit an existing issue, open it and click Edit Issue on the details panel toolbar. The dialog lets you change the issue's title and description.

Other fields are changed outside this dialog:

• Assignee and labels are edited directly in the issue's Fields tab.
• The open/closed state is changed with the Close Issue / Re-open Issue action.

See Issue Details.
