Hello,
I work on the enarx open source project, and we often have external dependencies on other open source projects (outside of our organization/repositories). Is there a way to “track” the status of an external issue or pull request and have that status reflected in our board?
Alternatively, is there a way to manually import one-off issues or PRs on other repositories and have them show up on our board (and preferably be able to identify them as dependencies for our own issues)?
Thank You!
If you have write permission to the repo, you can set a dependency, but it is more of a “flag” than a “track” I would say. You could add that repo to your workspace and use a “Blocked” pipelines to really visualize it.
And since your ZenHub workspace is build from repositories in GitHub, there isn’t a way to pull just one issue over from another repositories, we bring the entire thing! You could use a filtered workspace to only see the issues that matter to you, which could help?
So the external dependency (or should I say external blocking PR) is in an external repository in another GitHub organization (where we are neither members nor have write access). Is there a way for us to represent this relationship and for it block our issue until the PR gets merged?
