When attempting to create a new issue I was blocked due to this robot:

[CAN"T ATTACH IMAGE HERE]

it says

> Dear Moodler, before creating a new issue you need to demonstrate that you have searched among the existing issues to see if it's already been filed. Please find a similar issue from among the open issues and either start watching it or vote for it.

However this robot is not working correctly as demonstrated here

[CAN"T ATTACH IMAGE HERE]

I did actually search and watch the random issue MDLSITE-2636

Afterwards on my own intuition, I posted some spam comments on other issues, and edited them out, and then retried to post the original issue. It worked MDL-80577

These extra steps will be off-putting to new contributors in what is already 10x more difficult to get started than modern projects on GitHub.

Also: INFRASTRUCTURE or JIRA is missing as an option on the required dropdown AFFECTS VERSION/S and COMPONENT/S below.
