Private saved views for repository issues and “Relates to” issue relationship is generally available

Private saved views for repository issues are now generally available, allowing users to create personal issue filters via the UI and API. The “Relates to” issue relationship is also enabled across the REST and GraphQL APIs, webhooks, timeline events, issues search and projects search, expanding cross‑issue linking.

GitHub announced that personal issue filters became generally available for use through both the interface and application programming interfaces. This update also activated the "Relates to" issue relationship across several data endpoints and search tools. The platform now supports these cross-issue linking features in the REST and GraphQL APIs. These changes include webhooks, timeline events, and various search functions. These features allow users to create and save personalized views of their project issues more easily. The expansion of the relationship type improves how developers connect different parts of their work. By enabling these links in search and event streams, the system provides broader context for tracked items. The update aims to simplify workflow management across different technical integrations. The source does not specify exact metrics or adoption rates for these new capabilities. It does not detail the specific internal logic used to process the new relationship in the backend. While feedback solicitation mentions a community discussion, no specific results from that discussion are provided. The timeline for rollout completion beyond general availability is not defined in the text.
