Hide inoperable group search Releases filter - frontend
This issue is being rescoped to just frontend.
- Original frontend issue: !50010 (merged)
- The follow-up backend issue is here: #295253 (closed)
Summary
When accessing the group issue page, filtering by releases doesn't work. Items are returned, but they don't seem to be properly filtered by the release filter.
See also #208805 (comment 394066335)
Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues
- In the search box, select the "Release" filter
- When selecting a release to filter by, search for
v12.4.0-ee
- This is issue #1: this tag is real, but it doesn't show up in this list
- Select any available release and press Enter
- This is issue #2: issues are returned, but it's not clear how they are related to the selected release

What is the current bug behavior?
- Not all releases are available in the filter dropdown when filtering by release
- After selecting a release, the results include items that shouldn't appear in the list
What is the expected correct behavior?
The release filter should not be available at group search pages (for now).
We may revisit this feature after thinking through how it should behave: #243726 (closed)

Possible fixes
Hide the releases filter on the group search pages. When we originally built this feature, we didn't think through how it should work on group pages (it was accidental that this filter showed up on both project and group pages). Because of this, simply removing the filter on group search pages would be consistent with our original vision for this feature.
