Hi there,

We want to set up some Custom Project Templates as per: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/custom_project_templates.html, we have a sub-group named "custom-project-templates" sitting just under our root group

From the gitlab docs it states:

• In the left menu for the group, go to Settings > General.
• Expand Custom project templates and select the subgroup.

Ideally we want to set this via Terraform, I can see that similar settings exist on the "gitlab_project" resource as group_with_project_templates_id - however we do not create projects within terraform, solely groups, and we would want these changes to propagate to all existing groups. So that Developers can continue to create projects via the UI, but now when they click "Create from Project Template" they can choose our Custom Templates.

Can a change be made to the "gitlab_group" resource to allow us to set the location of our Custom Project Templates, which would bring it in line with the GitLab docs, which say to set this up on the Group "General" settings?
