Feature highlight: Move issues between projects
Blog post from GitLab
The 8.6 release introduced a feature allowing users to move issues between projects, addressing the common problem of mistakenly creating issues in the wrong project. This feature ensures that when an issue is moved, the original is copied, closed, and referenced, maintaining all progress and notifying subscribers based on their settings. Although seemingly simple, implementing this feature posed challenges, particularly with ensuring cross-project references in descriptions and comments remain accurate. Developers initially faced difficulties with Markdown references and labels, leading to a solution involving regular expressions to match local references and substituting them with fully-expanded cross-project references. This approach, while not the most performance-efficient, enabled a timely release, ensuring the integrity of issues and comments.
