Steps to reproduce: - create a namespace - create a repository - click on fork on this repository - the `project URL` shows all the namespace the user has access, but doesn't show the namespace where the repository is - if we use an API call `curl --request POST --data "namespace_id=NAMESPACE_ID" --data "name=REPO_FORK" --data "path=REPO_FORK" --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/PROJECT_ID/fork"` this works, we can fork it in the same namespace with a different name A silver customer has been requesting this: [internal link](https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/229233)
