Re: Marge has been stabilised

Yes you have to literally edit the string. I know this is very confusing but many things about gitlab can't be explained with normal logic. Cheers, Matt On Wed, Feb 13, 2019 at 4:03 PM Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

If you want to change the status using the UI (not via a "quick action") do you literally edit the title? That is, the semantics is driven from the title string itself? Or do you do something else in the UI?
