Link to create a new issue in GitLab with a specific issue template selected

gitlab.example.com/issues/new?issuable_template=Bug

While we’re here, some documentation for issue templates that’s not so hard to find, but that i still had to search for.

On issue templates in general: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/description_templates.html

To set a default title from within the issue template, use:

/title Here is a default title

Note that it is a default title. Unfortunately it’s not filled in for the edit window when it’s opened, but it will be used if the issue author leaves the subject blank [actually, TODO check this, can the form be submitted with the title blank?] Crucially, if the issue poster does provide a title, this won’t overwrite it.

https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/quick_actions.html

UPDATE: Here’s how to set the title when linking to a new issue:

issue[title]=Whatever%20title%20you%20want

Putting it all together:

https://gitlab.com/example/example/-/issues/new?issuable_template=some_template&issue[title]=Some%20title

Or a live example:

https://gitlab.com/drutopia-platform/drutopia_host/-/issues/new?issuable_template=new-drupal-release&issue[title]=New%20release

And the shockingly hard to find documentation: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/managing_issues.html#new-issue-via-url-with-prefilled-fields

… i could not find my own documentation and re-documented here.
