Welcome to the GLQL Views Beta Feedback Issue!

The purpose of this feedback issue is to collect feedback from Beta users of the GLQL Views. Our goals are to identify and prioritize bugs, capture ideas for new features and improvements, and ultimately enhance user satisfaction and product quality. Your input is crucial in helping us understand and address the needs of our users, ensuring that our product continues to evolve and improve.

What is GLQL?

GitLab Query Language (GLQL) is a Beta attempt to create a single query language for all of GitLab which allows for filtering and embedding content from anywhere in the product. Documentation for general usage of GLQL and its syntax can be found on here.
