Allow easy Automation of Issue movement between Board Topics

Hello, my company uses GitLab boards for our Sprint Planning and Management and so far I’m enjoying it. One thing I would love to see incorporated is a way to allow easy automation of moving issues between Board labels.

Let’s say I have an Issue in “Waiting for Merge” and the 1 MR related to that Issue get’s approved, merged, all tests pass etc. I’d love for that issue to be automatically moved to the next label which in this case is “Under Review”

I’ve seen some clunky looking setups using webhooks and the GitLab API to change labels, I feel like this should be implemented into the UI. Even if I have to apply this setting on each Issue/Board/Label individually it would be a great help.

Hi,

yep, this automation can be done with bots using the CI & API capabilities, requiring some more effort to adopt this for your workflows. I like the idea with moving things and listening actions though. Would you mind opening a new feature request? Thanks

Cheers,
Michael

Not sure how good of a job I did with that but I think I addressed the issue. I have seen this topic pop up a couple times so if anyone sees this and can lend a helping hand in terms of details or implementation please hop on!

Hi,

Gabe was so nice to link another issue where this is discussed on a more global basis - great to see this coming together

Highly recommend subscribing there too.

Cheers,
Michael
