Epics API does not have _links
Problem to solve
The Epics API is inconsistent with the Issues and Merge Request API and does not have links. The _links
attribute is very useful when using a restful API. Particularly the self
link can be quite useful when taking a collection, and then performing the same POST
or PUT
action on all the items in the collection.
Further details
It would be nice if all issuable API entities were consistent, including _links
so that it's easier to extend scripts that work with issues and merge requests, to also work with epics.
Proposal
Implement basic _links
support in the Epics API for consistency.
