Gitlab - changing diacritical to base characters as an option
C
Cezary Janiak
When creating branch/MR it takes task name, but it can contain letters other than base (diacritical). They're cut out and target name is ugly then. Option when creating task would be nice (or in integration options)
Now it has to be done manually - it takes time and focus

Thanks for the feedback! At the moment, our GitLab integration requires an exact match for task IDs, including any diacritical characters.
We don’t currently normalize characters like "č" → "c", but we’re curious: is the main issue with GitLab branch naming, commit parsing, or CI tools misreading the task ID? Would an optional toggle to strip accents before embedding the task ID in branch names solve the problem for your team?
Understanding your flow will help us explore whether this belongs in the ClickUp side of the integration or if there’s a GitLab-side workaround.
