Question

Selecting GitLab Projects UX When You Have Access to Many, Many GitLab Proje cts

I am trying to create a Zap from an existing template that allows me to create a GitLab Issue from a Google Form.

I work for GitLab and have access to many, many projects - just like many of our mutual enterprise customers would.

When I use the “Create Issue In GitLab Action” the ability to browse GitLab projects does some kind of paging through what I have access to.

However, there is no ability to type a **search** term to narrow the list. I can only type a **filter** term to narrow whatever list of projects has been retrieved from GitLab. So each time I click “Load More” it takes about 20-30 seconds.

Since there is no way to direct it on what group to load from I could easily spend hours and hours hitting “Load More” to get to the project.

I am using a **filter** term which at least I don’t have to eyeball whether I have a hit and I can filter by the very unique numeric “Group ID”.

However, without being able to tell it which group hierarchy to load from, it could be days of pressing “Load More”

From my reading the API won’t help because I can’t use it to create individual Zaps like this.

Hi @DarwinJS 

If you know the ID, then you can use the ‘Custom’ tab to set a static value.
