Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet

I'm trying to create project with "." in both name and path, using:

gl.projects.create({'namespace_id': group.id, 'name': projectName, 'path': projectName})

Expected Behavior

Name and path are the same and equal to actual "projectName".
URL git_url/test_group/project.test

Actual Behavior

Name is correct, but path has "." replaced with "-".
For example "project.test" has path "project-test".
URL: git_url/test_group/project-test
