[Projects Beta] Support adding default repo for project

[mofax]

When converting an item into an issue, it would be nice to have the default repo, either pre-selected or placed at the top.

[alternatively] allow managing a project from the projects tab of the individual repo, in which case, the current repo is automatically selected.

I have nearly created issues in unrelated projects multiple times today due to this. A given board should at least remember the last issue created and default to that at the top of the list.

I've had the same issue. I'd like to see the option to set allowed repos for a project. It could default to "All", but being able to restrict this would stop people accidentally creating issues in unrelated repos.

[jaumard]

also "add item" should use this default repo for searching item to add.

[alhuede-thncs]

I also think this is essential, as all my projects are created at the organization level however refer to specific repositories.

Accidentally creating an issue for an unrelated repository is a huge pain.

I think we just need some bulk update feature for this 🤔
As a project manager update selected items to issue/repo/label etc

a big UP 🔝 for this one

I started using Porjects yesterday and am facing this problem.It is very tedious to select the repository each time, so I would be glad if there is some workaround.

Being able to create project items for multiple repos is a great feature, but there should be a select about setting a default repo, so it is in sync all the time.

This makes the Projects near-useless.

Projects seem to default to a random repository in my organization (not the one I linked too/created the project from).

Bizarre this isn't fixed after 2+ years.

[chrislind]

They don't fix this and are surprised when Projects isn't well used? Really.

very curious how this one is going to go - GitHub seems to either not see or ignore such easy-to-fix but very annoying ux issues

[dwolrdcojp]

We need this!

Please add a select default repo for new issues so that projects help keep things organized instead of adding chaos when the wrong repo is chosen! A repo pops up anyways so might as well be the one you needl.

[HMKnapp]

+1. Not just a default repo where you can still click on the wrong one, but only show certain repos per project

We would happily switch from Jira/Notion to GitHub Projects if it had this one awesome feature ❤️ We just want to view Repository Issues in a kanban board and Projects seems the right way to do it, but its a little too clumsy right now.
