Release notes
Problem to solve
Instance-wide Project templates only show Projects directly under the Group that is configured globally.
When maintaining multiple versions of a given type of templates, it can quickly grow and become hard to browse.
To illustrate, Built-in templates for Netlify suffer from the same problem.
Proposal
Instance templates should render the Sub-groups of the Group that is configured to hold its templates. This would make organizing templates far more intuitive as we could have a hierarchy.
Building on the Netlify example, the instance could be configured to use the group Gitlab Templates. That groups would have a Netlify sub-group which will in turn hold the Projects Hugo, Jekyll, Plain HTML, GitBook and Hexo.
An example of how it would look like can already be seen in Group templates, under the condition that you create a Project from Template from outside of a Group.
By doing so, the tab will include all the Group Templates from Groups you are member of. However, these templates cannot be used outside of said group, which make them unusable for more general-purpose templates.
