Hi, I am writing here with the hope that this is the right place. I updated recently from version 7.5.x to 7.8.0, and I realized that filtering on multiple labels in issues is gone.
Since the labels moved from the sidebar to a dropdown menu, it is no longer possible to select multiple labels in conjunction (i.e. with AND semantics). This in my opinion is a dramatic downgrade, as we use group of labels to mark issues with different meaning, e.g. type:bug, type:feature, type:idea, type:requirement prio:urgent comp:c1, comp:c2, ... So we wanted to find urgent bugs about component c2, we could filter with all the corresponding labels "type:bug, prio:urgent, comp:c2". Actually I wonder I comes that such an important feature (possibility to filter on multiple labels in conjunction) could disappear from the issue tracker. Was the removal an intended "feature", or a bug coming from the UI reorganization? There is an open issue about it [1], but it seems to be considered not very urgent, as no action about it seems to have been taken for release 7.9 or 7.8.x >From the usability point of view, the labels should be brought back to the sidebar in my opinion, as selecting them is a common operation when filtering. Furthermore, notice that github supports multiple selection of labels with AND semantics, and also support the specification of labels' names in the textual search field. In particular it allows to search for labels specified in the form "label:label-name" which I think would be extremely useful in gitlab as well. What do you think? Regards, r.
