Gitlab issue templates for Groups?

Question

We have recently decided to create some default templates for our projects, I know I can do that by adding some markdown files to a .gitlab/issue_templates directory in the root of my projects.

My issue is that we have hundreds of projects divided into different Groups, and I'd rather avoid modifying every single one of them. Is it possible to create some sort of Group issue templates that will affect all projects within a certain Group?
I'm aware that this is possible in Github Organizations, for example, by creating a .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATES directory in the root Organization's .github repository, is something similar possible to achieve with Gitlab?

Seems like you can achieve this through GitLab Project Templates for groups: Docs

1. On the top bar, select Menu > Groups and find your group.
2. On the left sidebar, select Settings > General.
3. Expand Templates.
4. From the dropdown list, select your template project as the template repository at group level.
5. Select Save changes.
