## Problem to Solve [Merge request dependencies](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_dependencies.html) currently only provide minimal support for defining single level dependencies and a lack of complex merge orders. Dependencies also don't provide automatic updates in dependent changes to target the appropriate branch. ## Additional Details Dependency limitations are documented in https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_dependencies.html#limitations ## Proposal Improvements should merge request dependencies should be addressed through the linked issues.
