Embedded views: The future of work tracking in GitLab

This post introduces 'embedded views' powered by GitLab Query Language (GLQL). These views allow dynamic, real-time GLQL queries to be embedded directly within Markdown code blocks in various GitLab locations (wikis, epics, issues, merge requests, comments). Key features include always-up-to-date data on page load, contextual awareness using functions like `currentUser()` and `today()`, powerful filtering capabilities on over 30 fields, and customizable display options (table, list, numbered list) with control over displayed fields, limits, and sort order. The post details the syntax and provides examples of creating embedded views, highlighting their use in mission-critical processes at GitLab for tracking merge requests, triaging bugs, and managing planning. This extends the existing 'Issue Tracking and Merge Request Workflow Integration' by providing a dynamic, in-context data visualization layer for work items.
