When setting a merge request to auto-merge when the pipeline succeeds, the merge details info box indicates the relevant information related to how the merge will occur, but the information there is incomplete:
- it doesn't explicitly mention that the commits will be squashed (it does say that 1 commit will be added to the target branch, but it would be better to explicitly indicate that a squash merge was chosen)
- it doesn't say that the merge message was customized (if that was indeed done).
Out of the three options at the top of the auto-merge dialog:
...only the fact that the source branch will be deleted is preserved explicitly in the resulting merge details box.
For example:
In this case, I set the auto-merge configurations to squash the commits, and edited the merge commit message, but these details are not shown in the info box. This can lead to confusion and uncertainty about whether the chosen configurations were indeed applied.
