Once you have configured and enabled Custom Issue Tracker Service you'll see a link on the GitLab project pages that takes you to that custom issue tracker.
Referencing issues
- Issues are referenced with
ANYTHING-<ID>, whereANYTHINGcan be any string and<ID>is a number used in the target project of the custom integration (examplePROJECT-143). -
ANYTHINGis a placeholder to differentiate against GitLab issues, which are referenced with#<ID>. You can use a project name or project key to replace it for example. - So with the example above,
PROJECT-143would refer tohttps://customissuetracker.com/project-name/143.
