Merge request reference links broken in releases page
Summary
References to merge requests to not appear as links in the releases page UI when a release is created via API. They do appear, however, when editing the release notes and previewing the markdown.
Steps to reproduce
In a private group with a private project, create a release with release notes that include a link to a merge request (e.g. !142
, https://gitlab.com/path/to/project/merge_requests/142
, etc)
What is the current bug behavior?
The short reference is not turned into a URL in the releases page. It does appear as a URL, however, when editing the release and previewing the markdown. The full URL does appear as a URL in the releases page, but is only shortened when editing the release and viewing the markdown.
What is the expected correct behavior?
In the releases page, both references should appear as shortened URLs.
