## Goal Let one GLQL analytics panel aggregate across several groups and/or projects, so the group and project filters in the new analytics dashboard space (`/explore/analytics_dashboards`) can drive it. Needed for ~DAPImpact_v1. ## Pieces, in order 1. **Backend** - done in 19.3 ([#600674](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/600674)): every aggregation engine field accepts `descendantsScope: { groupFullPaths, projectFullPaths }` (full paths, 20 combined, OR-ed), exposed under `group` and the new `organization` root. 2. **Compiler** - [glql#151](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/glql/-/work_items/151): `group in (...)` / `project in (...)` compile to `descendantsScope`; [glql!497](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/glql/-/merge_requests/497) (compile) + [glql!498](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/glql/-/merge_requests/498) (transform), to be merged and released together. 3. **GitLab side** - [#628101](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/628101): bump the gem and npm package to that release and document the new forms, the 19.3 minimum and the limits in the same MR. Nothing else: the feature is query syntax, so every consumer gets it with the bump. ## Not in this epic - Multiple top-level groups in standard mode (`type = Issue and group in (...)`, [#624802](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/624802)) - no backend for it. - Organization-wide aggregation without listing groups or projects ([#611273](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/611273)). - Telling the user why a scope list is unavailable (no Ultimate, flag off, no permission, GitLab < 19.3) before the query runs - raised in [glql!497](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/glql/-/merge_requests/497), needs its own issue if we pursue it. ## Related - Feeding the dashboard group/project filters into `group in (...)` is control wiring, tracked under [&22615](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/work_items/22615) / [glql#154](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/glql/-/work_items/154), not here. - [&21859](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/work_items/21859) dashboard view filtering, [#602450](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/602450) group and project filters active together.
