Better management of feature flags through search/filter

Release notes

Problem to solve

Issues like #223769 and an expected increase in the amount of created feature flags are pointing towards the need for better management capabilities in GitLab for feature flags.

"As a Software Developer, I want to be able to have more control over the management of my feature flags, so I can more easily surface the feature flags that matter."

For #223769:

"As a Software Developer, I want to be able to filter down on my feature flags, so I can find all feature flags using a strategy which involves a specific user list."

Intended users

  • Developers who create feature flags Sasha (Software Developer)
  • QA engineers enabling/disabling flags
  • Release managers who want to control which features are released and to which customer base
  • Support engineers that wish to release features to beta customers or test version to fix bugs for specific customers

User experience goal

The user should be able to easily surface the feature flags they are interested in without being distracted by ones that do not apply.

Proposal

Further details

Being able to sort and filter feature flags groups would allow users to more efficiently manage, find and view these items.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?

Is this a cross-stage feature?
