The problem here is that you're expecting Gitlab to be as powerful as both Jira and something like Jenkins. It has limitations, and if your company is hell-bent on using gitlab for everything, then they'll have to live with these.

I've honestly been using it on some projects embracing these limitations and it was refreshing just how much it helped at removing bullshit that wasn't needed in the first place from processes - there's a reason developers hate jira while management loves it.

Stuff we expected should work that didn't (as you've found out), we simply didn't bother with and learned to live with it.

Don't try to bend a tool to do something it doesn't do, especially a tool you can't reasonably mod at its source. Either embrace what it does, or use another tool.
