VSA Project Selection - Projects Can Disappear
Problem
In this walk-through video, the user struggles to find the gitlab project in the drop-down. I have experienced a similar issue with the project selection when creating a new issue from an epic and I suspect these may share a root cause.
In my experience of the problem, it appears that the drop-down's sort order would change randomly and that it was also not properly paginated so that, if I was unlucky, the project I intended to select (almost always GitLab) would never come up.
VSA Drop-down | Create Issue from Epic Project Drop-down |
---|---|
Further details
Project selection from the drop-down is a recurring problem in Analytics features and elsewhere in gitlab.
One great idea to solve this problem is by scoring search results as described in #221043 (closed).
Proposal
Project selection in group-level VSA should use the search result scoring introduced under #221043 (closed).
