As far as I can work out the WIP field is a part of the semantic model but the only way it displays on the UI is in the title.
Two other facets of the WIP state are: 1. WIP MRs can't be merged via the UI. (Marge also honours this) 2. The list of MRs can be filtered by the WIP status (which is that I use it for). https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/work_in_progress_merge_requests.html Your page is very helpful Simon. If you have any more questions then I'll try to answer. Cheers, Matt On Wed, Feb 13, 2019 at 9:38 AM Simon Peyton Jones <simo...@microsoft.com> wrote: > > Interesting.
