Description

We have a large amount of projects, an selecting a project in issue form is very difficult.

My idea is to use the same "searchable selectbox" from header in the issue form.

Given that we currently have projects rendered as a tree in the project select field (r8534), the change as proposed in this issue is blocked by #34288 to prevent functional regression.

An example of how a searchable tree dropdown could look like:
https://vue-treeselect.js.org/#nested-search

This combines a dropdown with Tree view and a search without loosing the tree path information.

This would be great as an option for other project selection dropdowns as well, e.g. when creating new time entries.

The same problem also affects the global time entry form at `/time_entries/new`.

With many projects, selecting the right one from the current hierarchical dropdown is slow and error-prone. A searchable project selectbox there would be very useful too, ideally preserving the project path/tree context.

Hello,

That could be a useful idea, we may already achieve something similar by using the existing features, such as filtering by name to locate a project.

For the Projects list (not the Projects table in the administration area), I would suggest following the same approach as the banner and displaying the full project path with hyperlink.

Regarding the time entry issue, I think the best approach would be to introduce a new available_column that can be selected in queries—for example, a Project Path (`project_path`) column.

In any case, here's what I have in mind for the Projects view:
