Create Merge Requests from Issues

It seems not possible by default.

@droy do you have any ideas?

Do you have an example I can look at?

Merge request is a useful feature of GitLab: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/

Merge requests are created by forking the Gitlab project, committing code to the fork, then submitting a MR on GitLab. That feature is enabled for sure :)

Why do I need to fork the project?

I expected to have the possibility to create a Merge Requests simply going to this page: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/chess/chess/-/merge_requests

^^ Does that link not work for you?

I can see Create Merge Request from an issue in your repo:

Can you not see that?

I can't create MR:

I will track this down. Thx for the screenshot.

I believe there was a mismatch with your userid. Can you see the feature now?

FWIW: I think this feature is limited to committers on the project. The general public will never see this option. As admin I see it on all issues I navigate to; as a user, I only see it on the issues for projects on which I am the owner.

No, I can't see the feature.

Supporting docs/issues:

Original request @gitlab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/2808

Current issue with this feature, when a project is forked: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/20704

Now it works! Thanks.

About the feature "create MR", shoudn't be possible to set the default source to "devel" instead of "master"?

Possible, yes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30987216/change-default-branch-in-gitlab/31004872

I think this is something you can do yourself. Would you be willing to try?

I don't have access to the "Settings" menu.

@droy Could you please set the default source to "devel" instead of "master"? I don't have the access rights to do it by myself.

@cguindon, @epoirier, @fgurr, @malowe, @webmaster. Does anyone have time to do this? Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. Project 'Chess' was successfully updated.
