Release notes

GitLab's Issues APIs updated to include the work item status.

Problem to solve

Currently when using the API to find issues, we cannot use the work item status either as a parameter, or in the returned JSON, to locate issues of interest that have a specific status.

Proposal

Update the APIs to support Work Item Status

  • Issues REST API
  • Issues GraphQL Request use the work items GraphQL query instead

(Perhaps the GraphQL and REST APIs could be tracked as separate issues)

Intended users

  • Parker (Product Manager)
  • Delaney (Development Team Lead)
  • Rachel (Release Manager)
  • Dakota (Application Development Director)

Feature Usage Metrics

Does this feature require an audit event?
