Extract Issue Template Fields
v1.0.3
Latest version
Extract issue template fields with GitHub Actions
GitHub issue templates are great. You can use them to standardize issue contributor experience. This action lets you pull the body, title, labels, and assignees from an issue template for use with downstream actions or applications.
Pairs nicely with issue-bot
