Improve MR workflow with a MR template

Javier Tiarequested to merge
AUTO-188 into main

There are several problems with the state of MR:

  1. GitLab has issues putting MRs as dependencies.

  2. Reviewers asked again and again which is the MR state.

  3. The Submitter forgets about some MR state details.

With a template that shows all the MR verification steps, it will help to the Reviewers and Submitter define the MR state.

When the Submitter has finished to verify all the Ready to Merge Conditions, it must check the boxes so the Reviewers will have a grasp in which state is the MR to decide the next step.

How to use the MR: When you create a merge request, it shows in the Choose a template dropdown list.

To apply a template:

  • Create or edit an issue or a merge request.
  • Select the Choose a template dropdown list.
  • If the Description text box hasn't been empty, to confirm, select "Apply template" option.
  • Select Save changes.
  • Ready to Review All review comments addressed. All dependencies met. Rebased to upstream branch. Pipeline is passing.
