What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

Example:

query pullRequest {
  repository(owner: "broksonic21", name: "nx-dependabot-increase") {
    pullRequests(states: OPEN, first: 1) {
      nodes {
        title
        isDraft
        url
        author {
          ... on User {
            email
            name
            login
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

      }
    }
  }
}

With an empty author

Is there a syntax which can read dependabot as the author?

@abdulapopoola any update on this one by chance? A number of tools and analytics we do needs to know which are dependabot, and this unfortunately blocks us.

Thanks!
