Description

Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet

My team is currently moving to tracking issues using the issue status introduced in Gitlab 18.2:
https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2025/07/17/gitlab-18-2-released/#custom-workflow-statuses-for-issues-and-tasks

My company uses this library to automate opening gitlab issues. Below is a snippet from said automation. I tried to get at what I could send in the create() method by dumping issue to JSON and got the following (company info redacted)

{ "id": 177073754, "iid": ..., "project_id": ..., "title": "...", "description": "...", "state": "opened", "created_at": "2025-11-13T21:49:44.290Z", "updated_at": "2025-11-13T21:49:44.290Z", "closed_at": null, "closed_by": null, "labels": [ ... ], "milestone": { "id": 4775912, "iid": ..., "project_id": ..., "title": "Development", "description": "Development (non-production) work that has yet to merge.", "state": "active", "created_at": "2021-10-01T18:45:11.056Z", "updated_at": "2025-02-27T21:17:20.634Z", "due_date": "2030-06-30", "start_date": "2026-06-01", "expired": false, "web_url": "..." }, "assignees": [], "author": { "id": 31427160, "username": "project_..._bot_...", "public_email": null, "name": "...", "state": "active", "locked": false, "avatar_url": "...", "web_url": "..." }, "type": "ISSUE", "assignee": null, "user_notes_count": 0, "merge_requests_count": 0, "upvotes": 0, "downvotes": 0, "due_date": null, "confidential": false, "discussion_locked": null, "issue_type": "issue", "web_url": "...", "time_stats": { "time_estimate": 0, "total_time_spent": 0, "human_time_estimate": null, "human_total_time_spent": null }, "task_completion_status": { "count": 1, "completed_count": 0 }, "weight": 1, "blocking_issues_count": 0, "has_tasks": false, "_links": { "self": "...", "notes": "...", "award_emoji": "...", "project": "...", "closed_as_duplicate_of": null }, "references": { "short": "...", "relative": "...", "full": "..." }, "severity": "UNKNOWN", "subscribed": true, "moved_to_id": null, "imported": false, "imported_from": "none", "service_desk_reply_to": null, "epic_iid": ..., "epic": { "id": ..., "iid": ..., "title": "..", "url": "", "group_id": ... }, "iteration": null, "health_status": null }

Unfortunately, I was not able to discern from this information how to set the status. Please let me know if it exists and this is a case of user error.

Expected Behavior

issue: ProjectIssue = jointsProject.issues.create( { 'title': issueTitle, 'description': issueDescription, 'status': 'Approval Queue', # This is what I'd like to work, or some equivalent 'labels': [ ], 'milestone_id': developmentMilestoneID, 'epic_iid': epicID, 'weight': 1, } )

Actual Behavior

Specifications

  • python-gitlab version: 7.0.0
  • Gitlab server version (or gitlab.com): GitLab Enterprise Edition 18.6.0-pre b618d849058
