Linked epics (ULTIMATE)

Introduced in GitLab 14.9 with a flag named related_epics_widget. Enabled by default.

FLAG: On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is available. To hide the feature, ask an administrator to disable the feature flag named related_epics_widget. On GitLab.com, this feature is available.

Linked epics are a bi-directional relationship between any two epics and appear in a block below the epic description. You can link epics in different groups.

The relationship only shows up in the UI if the user can see both epics. When you try to close an epic that has open blockers, a warning is displayed.

NOTE: To manage linked epics through our API, visit the epic links API documentation.

Add a linked epic

Prerequisites:

You must have at least the Reporter role for both groups.
For GitLab SaaS: the epic that you're editing must be in a group on GitLab Ultimate. The epics you're linking can be in a group on a lower tier.

To link one epic to another:

In the Linked epics section of an epic, select the add linked epic button ({plus}).
Select the relationship between the two epics. Either:
- relates to
- blocks
- is blocked by
Enter the epic number or paste in the full URL of the epic.

Epics of the same group can be specified just by the reference number. Epics from a different group require additional information like the group name. For example:
- The same group: &44
- Different group: group&44
Valid references are added to a temporary list that you can review.
Select Add.
