Running the following query:
"gl.groups.get(GROUP_ID).issues.list(milestone=milestone_title, as_list=False)" should return a list of issues with the specific milestone title. This query runs as expected on version 2.10.1. I recently installed version 8.0.0 and the query now returns an empty list. What changes need to be made to the query to return the proper issue list? Any help is much appreciated!

as_list support was removed back in v4.0.0 in 2023-10-17. https://python-gitlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html#id101

Use iterator=True instead. https://python-gitlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api-usage.html#pagination
