Close issues using titles of merge requests
If I remember correctly in older versions of GitLab we were able to close issues by specifying Closing #someIssueNumber
in our merge request titles.
Now, if we specify Closing #someIssueNumber
in the merge request title, it will link the merge request to issue but not flag the issue for automatic closing. Although specifying Closing #someIssueNumber
in the description of the merge request will flag the issue for automatic closing.
Regardless if this behavior existed before or not this behavior this feature would be greatly appreciated by myself (and others?)!
The issue does in fact close after further testing thanks to @smcgivern but GitLab doesn't show it in the UI as closing. See images below.
