Explore using Group Exports (and Epics) in GPT Data Generator
With the Group Import \ Export functionality of GitLab it's possible to import a Group structure into an environment with various data that we don't get with Projects:
- Milestones
- Labels
- Boards and Board Lists
- Badges
- Subgroups (including all the aforementioned data)
- Epics
- Events
Of note Milestones and Epics through this could be fruitful for our performance testing.
This would require a notable rework of our Data Generator though which currently generates it's own Group structure currently via API calls but it's still worth exploring as if we're able to get a clean copy of a large group structure with Epics and Milestones (possibly gitlab-org
?) it could be very useful. It also dogfoods the group import feature.
