In a response to a query about an Issue, the URL and other info is missing for links created with Reference editor button

[rudifa]

In a github repo Issue there are 3 ways to insert a link to another issue, PR, e.t.c, for example:

• execute: Forbid to return null from serialize function #3231 - 1: a Reference in a list

#3231 - 2: same Reference not in a list

link - 3: a Link to the same url

Problem: in the response to a graphql query the link info is missing from the 2 Reference cases.

To reproduce the bug, send this query...

query {
  repository(owner: "graphql", name: "graphql-js") {
    issue(number: 4093) {
      title
      number
      body
    }
  }
}

... and examine the response, in which urls are missing in cases 1 and 2.

{
  "data": {
    "repository": {
      "issue": {
        "title": "In a response to a query about an Issue, the URL and other info is missing for links created with Reference editor button",
        "number": 4093,
        "body": "In a github repo **Issue** there are 3 ways to insert a link to another issue, PR, e.t.c, for example:\r\n\r\n- #3231 - 1: a Reference in a list\r\n\r\n#3231 - 2: same Reference not in a list\r\n\r\n[link](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js/pull/3231) - 3: a Link to the same url\r\n\r\n**Problem**: in the response to a graphql query the **link info is missing** from the 2 Reference cases.\r\n"
      }
    }
  }
}

Moreover, here on the repo website, the case 1 also displays a git 'branch' icon and the title of the link target. These items are also missing from the response.

Actually, I am probably in a wrong place here, as this repo provides a js implementation of graphql spec.

The bug I'm trying to report is presumably in the github's implementation of their graphql server and its interaction with the github databases that store the repos and their issues.

Advice on where to go with this bug report would be appreciated.

I do think this is the wrong place to ask that question, a good thing to check would be the description of the fields on issue maybe there's an option to make it output the links, if not I reckon the GitHub support staff is your best bet 😅

Thank you @JoviDeCroock.
In the meantime, I did open a ticket with the GitHub support.

I'll close this as it's not really related to our repository
