Problem to solve

Based on initial discussions regarding the Feature Flag experience, and how the user can manage the status of environments within a feature flag, some team members discussed the possibility to create a new status called Partially Active. This status would mean that:

  • A feature flag is both active and inactive within multiple environments

Discussion for reference: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8621#note_130361292

Currently, we display only two statuses: Active, Inactive. Being Active if a flag is active on all environments, and Inactive if it is inactive on all environments.

In general, we should do some user testing to understand if the introduction of a new status is understood/necessary from a broader audience pov.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
