According to Lables documentation of python-gitlab, we can use the follwing code to add labels to newly created issues:
# Labels are defined as lists in issues and merge requests. The labels must
# exist.
issue = p.issues.create({'title': 'issue title',
'description': 'issue description',
'labels': ['foo']})
issue.labels.append('bar')
issue.save()
Which works fine when "foo" is created on project level. However it's not working with labels created on parent group level.
Example: Group1 (labels "boo") > Project1 (labels "foo")
Using the code snipet above, I can apply foo, but not boo.
How can I access parent level labels? I've tried to use token created on project level, and another one on group level, but still without success.
