Markdown support for cross-project links to issue properties
My wish:
Be able to cross-reference issue labels and assignee's with entries like for instance:
-
namespace/project#123~
to show the labels of another issue. -
namespace/project#123@
to show the assignee of another issue.
Background:
We're using GitLab for a very large multi-project environment. In this environment we use epics for issues that affect multiple projects. While managing an epic with for instance 12 project issues, I'm asked on a regular basis to report on the status of the epic. At this moment I am updating the epic with the status of all 12 issues to produce this report. The epic already has an overall description with pictures, and summaries of all 12 issues (each with a picture). So each time I manually have to update the status (labels) and the assignee of the 12 issues to be able to generate this report.
