Indicate the correct breadcrumbs path for Epic work items
Overview
On the legacy Epic detail page, users maintain / Epics /
as the level prior to the IID in the breadcrumbs path. This helps to reinforce their location in the product, as well as offers a navigational path in the breadcrumbs back to the main Epic List.
Currently on the work items Epic detail page, we show / Issues /
as the level prior to the IID. This is problematic as we don't currently refer to Epics as "Issues", as well as this link will actually navigate the user to the Issues list rather than to the Epics list (where I would expect it to go to Epics list as long as we are keeping them separate from Issues in the product).
Epic List | Epic Detail | |
---|---|---|
Legacy Epics | ![]() |
![]() |
Work Item Epics | ![]() |
![]() |
This was also discussed in &13514 (comment 1917654083).
Proposal
Change the breadcrumbs path on Epic work items to use / Epics /
rather than / Issues /
, and ensure it is linking to the proper location (the Epic list).
It was indicated that this would be a backend task from the discussion in &13514 (comment 1917992258):
Not that much work, but actually a backend task to change the title based on the type in: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/fdf3edb61562443de2ccd30ad509b631ded3ab98/app/views/groups/work_items/show.html.haml#L2
