I'm using Gitlab.
I created an issue and then used the "create branch" button in the issue view page.
I worked on the branch and completed and committed around 80% of work.
When I created a merge request from this branch to master and accepted it, the issue was closed automatically.
What was I supposed to do to accept the merge request without closing the issue?
Or maybe it's a git concept that you should merge a branch only when the issue is complete resolved?
