Create Issue workflow

This repository contains a GitHub Actions workflow that creates an issue in a specified repository when triggered manually, and optionally adds it to a GitHub Project.

Usage

• Set a repository secret named GH_TOKEN with a personal access token that has repo scope (or appropriate permissions for the target repo).
• If using the project assignment feature, ensure your token also has the project scope.
• Trigger the workflow from the Actions UI or via the GitHub CLI. Provide the repository (owner/repo), title, optional body, optional labels (comma-separated), and optional project_number.

Example (GitHub CLI):

# Create an issue without adding to a project
gh workflow run "Create Issue" --repo OWNER/REPO --field repository="octocat/Hello-World" --field title="Bug report" --field body="Details..." --field labels="bug,high-priority"

# Create an issue and add it to project #1
gh workflow run "Create Issue" --repo OWNER/REPO --field repository="octocat/Hello-World" --field title="Feature request" --field body="Add new feature" --field project_number="1"

Parameters

• repository (required): The target repository in owner/repo format
• title (required): The issue title
• body (optional): The issue description
• labels (optional): Comma-separated list of labels to apply
• project_number (optional): The project number (e.g., 1 for project #1) to add the issue to

Requirements for Project Assignment

To use the project assignment feature:

1. Your GH_TOKEN must have both repo and project scopes
2. The project must exist in the target repository
3. You must have write access to the project
