# GitLab quick actions
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
Quick actions are text-based shortcuts for common actions that are usually done
by selecting buttons or dropdowns in the GitLab user interface. You can enter
these commands in the descriptions or comments of issues, epics, merge requests,
and commits. Quick actions are executed from both new comments and description, and when you edit
existing ones.
Many quick actions are context-aware, requiring certain conditions be met. For example, to remove
an issue due date with `/remove_due_date`, the issue must have a due date set.
Be sure to enter each quick action on a separate line to allow GitLab to
properly detect and execute the commands.
## Parameters
Many quick actions require a parameter. For example, the `/assign` quick action
requires a username. GitLab uses [autocomplete characters](autocomplete_characters.md)
with quick actions to help users enter parameters, by providing a list of
available values.
If you manually enter a parameter, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks
(`"`), unless it contains only these characters:
- ASCII letters
- Numbers (0-9)
- Underscore (`_`), hyphen (`-`), question mark (`?`), dot (`.`), ampersand (`&`) or at (`@`)
Parameters are case-sensitive. Autocomplete handles this, and the insertion
of quotation marks, automatically.
## Issues, merge requests, and epics
The following quick actions are applicable to descriptions, discussions, and
threads. Some quick actions might not be available to all subscription tiers.

## Commit messages
The following quick actions are applicable for commit messages:
| Command | Action |
|:----------------------- |:------------------------------------------|
| `/tag v1.2.3 <message>` | Tags the commit with an optional message. |
## Troubleshooting
### Quick action isn't executed
If you run a quick action, but nothing happens, check if the quick action appears in the autocomplete
box as you type it.
If it doesn't, it's possible that:
- The feature related to the quick action isn't available to you based on your subscription tier or
user role for the group or project.
- A required condition for the quick action isn't met.
For example, you're running `/unlabel` on an issue without any labels.
