Cannot Filter by Epics Created at Higher Group Levels

Summary

When trying to filter issues by epics in a project, epics from a higher level group do not show up as options to filter by.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a group, let's call it foo
  2. Create a subgroup within foo, let's call it bar
  3. Create a project within bar, let's call it boo

The structure should look as follows:

foo (group)
|- bar (subgroup)
   |- boo (project)
  1. Create an epic in foo called "Test Epic"
  2. Create two issues in boo called "Test Issue 1" and "Test Issue 2"
  3. Add Test Issue 1 to Test Epic
  4. Go to List or Boards view for the issues in boo
  5. Attempt to filter by Test Epic and you see the box does not show Test Epic

Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?

The filter options for epics do not populate epics created at higher group levels.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The filter options for epics do populate epics created at higher group levels.

This will be fixed with the rollout of Vue-based issue lists. See #233729 (comment 754071387).
