[Web UI] Cannot import data from cloud at project creation

[leihuayi]

Describe the bug
When using labelstudio web interface, in the modal for project creation, it is not possible to set up cloud storage to import data. (See screenshot 1)

We need first to complete project creation, then click on "Import data to get your project started" (See screenshot 2)

Although it is explained in documentation, this behaviour can confuse users. Logically when clicking on a tab "import data" one can expect it would work from cloud storage too (especially since Label Studio recommend this method for importing data).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to label studio root page
2. Click on 'Create' to create a new project
3. Fill tab "Project name" then go to tab "Data import"
4. Try to put link to a s3 bucket or path to a file in s3 bucket
5. Validation error (URL resolves to a reserved network address (block: 10.0.0.0/8))

Expected behavior
Two options :

• either put link from Project settings / Cloud storage / Add Source Storage inside the "Create project" modal (screenshot 3) to enable a user to configure cloud storage at project creation
• or remove completely tab "Data import" from "Create project" modal and explain in the modal that data import will follow after project creation is completed.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: linux for server, firefox for client
• Label Studio Version 1.21.0

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Label Studio
,
In Label Studio, the Create Project → Data Import step is meant for uploading/importing data directly (for example, upload files or import from a URL). Cloud Storage connectors (S3/GCS/Azure “Source Storage” + Sync) are configured after the project exists, from Project Settings → Cloud Storage

If your goal is “import tasks from S3”, the recommended path is as follows :

1. Create the project (even with no data).
2. Go to Project Settings → Cloud Storage.
3. Add an S3 Source Storage connection and then Sync.

Best Regards!
