Error when attempting to mark an issue as being related to an archived issue

Summary

When I attempt to mark an issue as being related to another issue in an archived project, it fails to create the relation.

Steps to reproduce

• Create a project
  • Create an issue in that project
  • Archive the project
• Create another project
  • Create an issue in that project
  • Under the "Linked items" section, click Add, then paste the reference to the issue in the archived project, and click Add

Example Project

• https://gitlab.com/smokris-test/test-archived-project
• https://gitlab.com/smokris-test/test

What is the current bug behavior?

GitLab outputs this error:

Couldn't link issue. You must have at least the Reporter role in both projects.

(That's incorrect, as I am the owner of both projects.)

What is the expected correct behavior?

I expect to be able to create relations to issues in archived projects.
