Can no longer assign a group to Merge Request Approvals rules

Summary

I can no longer find and therefore add a group to a project Merge Request approval rule.

Steps to reproduce

Go to Settings -> General -> Merge Request Approval Click on Add approval Rule Enter Name and search for known group in the search box. None of my groups can be found.

HOWEVER, I can use the API to add this group correctly:

curl -s -f -X POST -H 'PRIVATE-TOKEN: <TOKEN>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"name": "approvals", "group_ids": ["11621528"], "approvals_required": 1}' https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/32550781/approval_rules

This adds my group correctly as shown below:

Opening up the RULE created via the api shows the group selected:
