Summary

Cherry-picking (via web UI) picks into the wrong project/repo.

Steps to reproduce

  • open apparmor/apparmor!1822 (merged)
  • click "Cherry-pick"
  • verify that "pick into project" is set to apparmor/apparmor (default value, no change needed)
  • select branch apparmor-4.1
  • un-tick "Start a new MR"
  • click "Cherry-pick`

What is the current bug behavior?

The changes from the MR got picked into cboltz/apparmor (where the MR initiallly came from)

What is the expected correct behavior?

The changes should be picked into the selected project apparmor/apparmor.

Possible fixes

GitLab.com did the cherry-pick as expected until some weeks ago. I first noticed the wrong cherry-pick target on 2025-10-06.

The last successful/working cherry-pick I did was on 2025-08-25 in apparmor/apparmor!1766 (merged)

Therefore reverting the changes done or deployed between these dates that broke cherry-pick should help to fix this.
