Users on GitLab [Starter, Bronze, or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) will also see
the `weight` parameter:
```json
{
"project_id":4,
"description":"Omnis vero earum sunt corporis dolor et placeat.",
"weight":null,
...
}
```
Users on GitLab [Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) will additionally see
the `epic` property:
```javascript
{
"project_id":4,
"description":"Omnis vero earum sunt corporis dolor et placeat.",
"epic":{
"epic_iid":5,//deprecated, use `iid` of the `epic` attribute
"epic":{
"id":42,
"iid":5,
"title":"My epic epic",
"url":"/groups/h5bp/-/epics/5",
"group_id":8
},
// ...
}
```
**Note**: `assignee` column is deprecated, now we show it as a single-sized array `assignees` to conform to the GitLab EE API.
**Note**: The `closed_by` attribute was [introduced in GitLab 10.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/17042). This value will only be present for issues which were closed after GitLab 10.6 and when the user account that closed the issue still exists.
**Note**: The `epic_iid` attribute is deprecated and [will be removed in version 5](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/35157).
Please use `iid` of the `epic` attribute instead.
