How to add to "To do"?
I am probably missing something obvious, but how do I get the action to add to my project's "To do" list? It is pushing it to a "no label" in the project view. I tried adding labeled: "To do" but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
you will need to label the issue todo manually, or through a different action/job
In the workflows menu in projects (above settings) there is a setting for "Item added to project". There set "Set" to todo. What is confusing is that this workflow thing looks like a standalone thing but seems to just be an extra for when other actions activate.
👋🏻 as recommended above, I would suggest using built-in project workflows to automatically set the status of an item when it's added to your project.
https://github.com/actions/add-to-project/issues/318 tracks a request to field through the add-to-project-action, so I'm closing this as a duplicate.
