Summary

The count of assigned merge requests doesn't update when assigned to a merge request post-creation.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a merge request when gitlab-bot is down (so the creator isn't automatically designated as an assignee)
2. Be assigned to the merge request by another user

What is the current bug behavior?

It shows 3 on the merge request button on the sidebar

What is the expected correct behavior?

It should show 4, as I'm assigned to 4 merge requests.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

What I've tried that didn't resolve the issue

• Refreshing the page
• Logging out and back in
• Switching between old/new navigation (both show 3)
• Clearing cookies

Possible fixes

It's probably some issue with not re-fetching the data from the backend? No idea.

What resolved the issue

After a couple of hours, it started showing the proper number.
