GLQL fields

Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated

With GitLab Query Language (GLQL), fields are used to:

Filter the results returned from a GLQL query.
Control the details displayed in an embedded view.
Sort the results displayed in an embedded view.

You use fields in three embedded view parameters:

query - Set conditions to determine which items to retrieve
fields - Specify which columns and details appear in your view
sort - Order items by specific criteria

The following sections describe the available fields for each component.

Fields inside query

In an embedded view, the query parameter can be used to include one or more expressions of the format <field> <operator> <value>. Multiple expressions are joined with and, for example, group = "gitlab-org" and author = currentUser().

Prerequisites:

Querying epics is available in the Premium and Ultimate tier.

The table below provides an overview of all available query fields and their specifications:

Troubleshooting

Query timeout errors

You might encounter these error messages:

Embedded view timed out. Add more filters to reduce the number of results.

Query temporarily blocked due to repeated timeouts. Please try again later or try narrowing your search scope.

These errors occur when your query takes too long to execute. Large result sets and broad searches can cause timeouts.

To resolve this issue, add filters to limit your search scope:

Add time range filters to limit results to a specific period, by using date fields like created, updated, or closed. For example:

```glql
display: table
fields: title, labels, created
query: group = "gitlab-org" and label = "group::knowledge" and created > "2025-01-01" and created < "2025-03-01"
```

Filter by recent updates to focus on active items:

```glql
display: table
fields: title, labels, updated
query: group = "gitlab-org" and label = "group::knowledge" and updated > -3m
```

Use project-specific queries instead of group-wide searches when possible:

```glql
display: table
fields: title, state, assignee
query: project = "gitlab-org/gitlab" and state = opened and updated > -1m
```
