  2. Scroll to Attributes.
  3. In the Name dropdown, select the status attribute you created with the mergebot.
  4. Enter the resolved status value you defined when you created the mergebot.
  5. Select Add.

Set attribute through the desktop client

  1. On the Branches tab, select the branch.
  2. Select Show properties > Apply attributes.
  3. Select status from the Attribute name dropdown, and select resolved from the value dropdown.
  4. Select Apply.

You can also set an attribute through the CLI: 
cm attribute set att:status br:/main/example-branch resolved
