Feature request: remove stale label on closing

Open ov7a opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description: It would be nice to have the option to remove the stale label when an issue is closed by a stale workflow. A more generic option might be labels-to-remove-when-closed.

Justification: Stale action can be used to ask for additional information during an issue triaging process. Consider the following workflow:

  1. An issue is created with triage label.
  2. Maintainer reviews the issue and asks for more details.
  3. Maintainer adds pending:details to the issue.
  4. No details provided.
  5. The issue is closed by stale action.

Current behavior: 6. The issue has triage, pending:details and any labels from close-issue-label.

Expected behavior: 6. The issue has labels from close-issue-label, but triage and pending:details are removed.

It might be achieved by triggering actions-ecosystem/action-remove-labels action on issues closed event, but this event isn't triggered.
