how to activate Issues in repo #2009

I forked a popular open-source software previously hosted on GitHub (FreeCAD), because the maintainers there refused to maintain an older version of that software, needed by some long-term projects (https://codeberg.org/Zolko/FreeCAD21). This is a regular repo and holds an "Issues" tab (https://codeberg.org/Zolko/FreeCAD21/issues)

On the advice of codeberg (Codeberg-e.V./requests#885) I created an umbrella organisation (xCAD) to hold that fork and share it with other developers. I then forked my FreeCAD21 repo into that account, but it remained to be presented as my fork. It also lacked an "Issues" tab.

I then transformed it into a regular repo which lost its status as a fork of my repo, hoping it would regain the "Issues" tab. Unfortunately, the repo (https://codeberg.org/xCAD/FreeCAD21) still doesn't have a "Issues" tab, which is very unfortunate.

Is there a way to have that forked-and-regularized repo (https://codeberg.org/xCAD/FreeCAD21) get all the usual features of a codeberg repository ?

I can also delete that repository and create a new empty one with all whistles-and-bells (https://codeberg.org/xCAD/test_issues) and re-upload my local repository. Is this the only way ?
