“Relates to” issue relationship in public preview and multi-select fields is generally available

GitHub is making it easier to connect related work and manage multiple field values across issues and projects.

Connect related issues

The new “Relates to” issue relationship is available in public preview. You can connect two issues without implying that one blocks, duplicates, contains, or closes the other.

Multi-select fields are generally available

Multi-select fields in issues and projects are now generally available, with several improvements:

• Slice and group project items by multi-select fields in table and board views.
• View and edit multi-select values from issue and pull request sidebars.
• Copy and paste multi-select values in the table view.
• Clear multi-select values from project items.
