Issue detail

The issue detail page shows everything about a single issue: its title and status, the description, the full comment thread, related issues and branches, a change history, and a details panel for editing the issue's metadata. From here you read the discussion, join it with a comment, and (when you have permission) edit, close, or reopen the issue.

Where to find it

URL: gitvetrix.com/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}
Navigation: Open a repository, go to its Issues list, and select an issue to open its detail page. The breadcrumb at the top links back to the owner, the repository, and the Issues list.

Read an issue

The header at the top of the page gives you the issue at a glance:

The issue title appears as the page heading, with the issue key (for example {code}-{number}) beside it.
A row of badges shows the current state (Open or Closed), and, when set, the issue Type, Priority, status, and workflow state. Every badge carries a text label, not just a color.
A Blocked by badge appears when other issues are blocking this one, showing how many.
Below the badges, a line shows who opened the issue and when, followed by any labels applied to it.

When an issue was closed automatically by a merged merge request, a banner near the top reads This issue was closed by and links to that merge request.

Read the description and discussion

The Discussion tab is selected by default and holds the conversation.

The first card shows the issue description, written by the author when the issue was opened. If there is none, it reads No description provided.
An Assumptions card and an Acceptance Criteria card follow, each showing that field's content or a note that none has been provided yet.
Comments appear beneath, oldest first. Each comment shows its author, when it was posted, and an (edited) marker if it was changed after posting.
The count next to the Discussion tab label tells you how many comments the thread has.

Add a comment

Scroll to the comment box at the bottom of the Discussion tab.
Type your comment in the Leave a comment... field. The box accepts Markdown.
Select Comment to post it. The button stays disabled until you have typed something.

Your comment appears at the end of the thread straight away.

Edit or delete a comment

You can edit your own comments; you can delete your own comments, and administrators can delete any comment.

Hover over the comment and select the pencil (Edit comment) or trash (Delete comment) control in its header.
When editing, change the text and select Save, or select Cancel to discard your changes.
When deleting, confirm in the dialog that appears. Deleting a comment is permanent.

Edit the description, assumptions, or acceptance criteria

If you are the issue author or an administrator, you can edit these fields in place.

Select the pencil control in the header of the description, Assumptions, or Acceptance Criteria card. If a field is empty, select its Add assumptions or Add acceptance criteria prompt instead.
Edit the content in the editor that opens.
Select Save to keep your changes, or Cancel to discard them.

Track linked issues, branches, and history

Alongside Discussion, three more tabs group related work:

Linked Issues — issues connected to this one by a relationship, such as blocks or relates to.
Code Changes — branches linked to this issue.
History — a record of state changes and description edits.

Link another issue

Open the Linked Issues tab. When nothing is linked yet, it shows No linked issues.
Select Link issue to open the Link issue dialog.
Choose a relationship from the Link type list.
In the Issue field, search by number or title and select the issue to link.
Select Link. The linked issue appears grouped under its relationship, showing its state and title.

To remove a link, select the remove control next to it and confirm. Removing a link leaves both issues unchanged.

Link a branch

Open the Code Changes tab, which lists any linked branches under Linked branches.
Select Link branch, type a branch name in the field, and select Add (or press Enter).
Each linked branch shows its name, a status badge, and the latest commit when available.

To remove a link, select the unlink control next to a branch and confirm. The branch itself is not affected.

Review the history

Open the History tab to see two lists when they apply:

State changes — each entry names the states the issue moved between and the time it happened.
Description edits — each entry names who edited the description and when; select Show diff to compare the text before and after.

When there is nothing to show, the tab reads No history yet.

Update the issue details

On a wide screen, a details panel on the right of the page lets you change the issue's metadata. Each change is saved as soon as you make it.

Set the type, priority, status, and estimates

Type — choose an issue type, or No type.
Priority — choose a priority level.
Status — choose Queued, In Progress, Blocked, Completed, or Canceled.
Story points, Input Tokens, and Output Tokens — select the field, type a whole number, and press Enter (or click away) to save. Leave a field blank to clear it; it then shows Not set.

Set versions, components, and a due date

When the repository defines them, the panel lists Component, Fix version, and Affects version as toggles; select an entry to apply it and select it again to remove it. Use the Due date field to pick a date, and the clear control beside it to remove one.

Move the issue through its workflow

The Workflow section shows the current workflow state and a button for each available transition. Select a transition to move the issue. If a transition is blocked, a message explains why. When no moves are available, the section reads No transitions available.

Apply labels and a milestone

Labels — select a label to apply it and select it again to remove it. When the repository has none defined, the section reads No labels configured.
Milestone — pick a milestone from the list, or No milestone. If the repository has no milestones yet, a prompt links you to create one.

Assign people and watch the issue

Assignees — select the pencil (Edit assignees), tick the collaborators to assign, and select Save. When no one is assigned, the field shows Not set.
Watchers — select Watch to be notified of activity on the issue; the button changes to Unwatch. The count beside it shows how many people are watching.

Set a parent and view child issues

Parent — search for and select a parent issue, or select the remove control to detach the current one. With no parent set, the field shows Not set.
Children — when the issue has child issues, select the Children disclosure to expand the list and open any child.

Close or reopen an issue

At the bottom of the details panel:

Select Close issue to close an open issue.
Select Reopen issue to reopen a closed one.

The state badge in the header updates to match.

Issues list — browse a repository's issues, filter and search them, and switch between list and threaded views.
Labels and issue types — manage the labels and issue types you apply from the details panel.
Repository home — the repository landing page, with its file list, rendered README, branch selector, clone URLs, and star and watch controls.
