how to use a diff project xxx.yyy than using the gitlab project

[thevikas]

My setup has different project codes. How to use that diff project name xxx.yyy? the pull is moving those projects back to orig gitlab project name.

There are two different ways you could handle this, both documented on the Common Configuration page:

1. Field Templates: If you can use templating (gitlab.project_template = {{xxx}}.{{yyy}}) or a static name for each service section (gitlab.project_template = xxx.yyy), this would work.
2. Static Field: If there's no way to do this automatically you can prevent bugwarrior from updating specified fields (static_fields = project). Note that this will prevent the project field from being updated (after the initial pull) for all services and I don't believe there's a way to do it on a per-service basis at the moment. However, this is unlikely to be a problem because project fields specifically tend not to change.

I'm using project trees in my tasks. So I could use gitlab.project_template = genealogy.backend? I cannot use the project name from git pull cause its just "backend" Have already tried gitlab.project_name but did not work.

It sounds like gitlab.project_template = genealogy.{{project}} is what you're after.
