Apply labels automatically at issue creation #23682
-
|
I have seen the documentation on how to write custom templates for issues, and that is great. Tried the feature and it works perfectly. Now I am wondering if there’s a way to tune each template to perform specific queries automatically. What I am specifically looking for is a way to encode the information to auto-label a new issues in the appropriate template. For instance if a user opens a bug report I want the tag “bug” to be automatically applied (given he has sufficient permissions to apply a label). I have seen that I can do something like this using queries but the bit I am missing is if it is possible to generate those queries from the issue template. Thanks in advance for any reply! |

Started using the Issues Template. It is so cool. Would be really happy to have labels attached along with templates. |

@nadiajoyce Thank you for implementing the feature! One question: is there any way to apply multiple labels? For instance can I e.g. apply the labels “bug” and “help wanted” simultaneously to a type of report? |

Hi @alalazo, Yes, indeed! You just need to list them, and separate with commas. Example: labels: bug, feedback ^ That will produce an issue with the labels Cheers! |

Hi, I am using a corporate account and the fields Title and Labels are filled. If I try in my private github account, it works fine. Is there a limitation related to versioning? Hugs, Cláudio Ramos |

Fyi, for labels with spaces or characters that are not working with markdown or yaml formats you just need to wrap the value in quotes. |
