Bulk Edit Move Dropdown Limited to Same Subgroup

Bulk Edit Move Dropdown Limited to Same Subgroup

Summary

When performing bulk edit of issues in a project and using the "Move" dropdown, only projects within the same subgroup are displayed. Searching for projects in other subgroups or groups returns no results.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Navigate to a project's Issues page in a subgroup structure (e.g., Group > Subgroup > Project)
  2. Select multiple issues using the checkboxes
  3. Click on "Edit issues" button to open bulk edit options
  4. Click on the "Move" dropdown
  5. Observe that only projects within the current subgroup are listed
  6. Try searching for a project name from a different subgroup or group
  7. Observe that no search results are returned

Output of checks

This bug happens on GitLab.com

What is the current bug behavior?

The Move dropdown in bulk edit mode only displays and allows searching for projects within the same subgroup as the current project. Projects from other subgroups or groups cannot be found or selected, even when searching by name.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The Move dropdown should display and allow searching for all projects that the user has access to move issues to, regardless of their location in the group/subgroup hierarchy. This was the behavior in version 17.10.4.

Possible fixes

This appears to be a regression introduced between version 17.10.4 and 18.4. The project search scope in the bulk edit Move dropdown may have been inadvertently restricted to the current subgroup context.
