If -m option is provided that option is used. If not provided default text editor gets opened.

You want to receive the message from standard input instead?

Hi, Thank you for reply. Perhaps I have some misunderstanding for gitlab. I find that -m value will be set as merge request title, not the description?

Yes. Description is available only in file based input where any content after a separate newline is taken as a description.

For my understanding, whats the issue with using file input way?

I misread your initial query. You want option for description like -d or something like that. Confirm if you want this.
