If your development workflow dictates to have an issue for every merge
request, you can quickly create a branch directly from the issue to speed the process up.
The new branch, and later its merge request, will be marked as related to this issue.
Once merged, the MR will automatically close the issue.
You can see a **Create merge request** dropdown below the issue description.
In case your development workflow dictates to have an issue for every merge
request, you can quickly create a branch right on the issue page which will be
tied with the issue itself. You can see a **Create merge request** dropdown
below the issue description unless there is already a branch with the same
name or a referenced merge request or your project (still) has an active
[fork relationship](../settings/index.md#advanced-settings).
NOTE: **Note:**
You won't see the **Create merge request** button if there is already a branch with the same
name or a referenced merge request or your project has an active
fork relationship.
If you would like to make this button appear, a possible workaround is to [remove your project's
fork relationship](../settings/index.md#removing-a-fork-relationship). Once removed, the fork
relationship cannot be restored and you will no longer be able to send merge requests to the source.

CAUTION: **Caution:**
Once removed, the fork relationship cannot be restored. You will no longer be able to send merge requests to the source, and if anyone has forked your project, their fork will also lose the relationship.
