No options for private/public step on Gitlap in workflow GUI

Question & Answer Steps
1

i tried to create a sample step and i faced an issue when i hosted the step on Gitlab, whether it was a private or public repo
and show me this error
“Invalid version” This version does not exist. Please select a valid version.

but if i host on Github, i work without any issue

Hey @WahdanZ, the GitLab repo gives 404 to me, it’s probably private at the moment. Would it be possible to make the repo public so that we can compare side-by-side the GitLab and GitHub repo contents?

It is now back public.

It seems to be working with this setup:

workflows:
  testing:
    steps:

Once you submit the step to the main step library, you can swap the git URL with the step ID and a published version (e.g. generate-timestamps@1)
