Group Comment Templates: Add option to make templates follow group members
Problem Statement
Currently, group comment templates are only accessible within the specific group's repositories. This creates limitations when team members need to use their standard templates across different groups:
- Teams must either restrict templates to their main group
- Or duplicate templates across multiple groups, leading to template proliferation
Proposed Solution
Add functionality to make group comment templates "portable" by following group members across the entire application.
Implementation Details
- Add a checkbox option in the group comment template settings
- When enabled, the template will:
- Be available to group members everywhere in the application
- Function similarly to user comment templates
- Load automatically when members are reviewing outside their group
Expected Benefits
- Reduces template duplication across groups
- Maintains consistency in review comments
- Improves efficiency for teams that frequently review across group boundaries
Acceptance Criteria
-
Checkbox option added to group comment template settings -
Templates with enabled setting are accessible to group members in all repositories -
Templates load properly when reviewing outside the group -
Existing template functionality remains unchanged when option is disabled
