GitLab API merge request status and changes are incorrect
Created by: MadhavGitlab
Iam using GitLab API 8.7.2 to submit a merge request and then accept it based on its "merge_status" and "changes" fields. When i submit a new merge request using the API, the merge_status and changes fields are incorrect. It always shows the changes as "null" and 'merge_status' as "unchecked", but if i go to GitLab -> Merge Requests section i see that the merge request status is - "Accept MergeRequest". Is it a bug in the API that it always shows the status and changes fields incorrectly?
On the other side, if i close the merge request and reopen it, the merge_status and changes fields show correct values.
