Problem to solve

GitLab introduces custom project templates starting with 11.2, allowing to bootstrap a new project based on prepared configuration and boilerplate code.
Since the amount of out-of-box templates and custom templates can become large quite fast, we should implement a way to allow enabling/disabling build-in vendor templates.

Proposal

Let's add the option for Administrators and Group Owners to enable/disable individual built-in templates in the Admin Area (instance-level) and Group settings (groupo-level). select one group in the GitLab instance that holds GitLab projects that are offered as project templates, when creating a new project.

Designs

Enable/disable templates

Admin area → Project templates → Built-in templates

List	Empty	Undefined

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

• If a custom template is disabled, it does not appear in the "Create new project from template" flow.
