Group by issue types

Open Jericho opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

Currently in public preview, a new GitHub feature allows us to categorize issues by "type" (discussed here). This is in addition to the tags which have been available for years.

This screenshot shows the three default types but documentation says we will be able to create up to 25 custom types: Image

Maybe we should offer an option that allows developers to specify they want issues grouped by type rather than tags in the generated release notes. Or maybe grouped by types in addition to tags. Something along the lines of:

  • Bug
    • Breaking Change
      • Issue number 1
      • Issue number 2
      • PR number 3
    • Improvement
      • Issue number 4
      • PR number 5
  • Feature
    • Breaking Change
      • Issue number 6
    • Improvement
      • PR number 7

I think this is a good idea, but we would need to wait until it has been implemented in Octokit before we can consider it.

From what I could see, this is the issue in Octokit that has the feature request to add this support: https://github.com/octokit/octokit.net/issues/2994
