About automatically adding items

You can configure your project's built-in workflows to automatically add new items as they are created or updated in a repository. You can define a filter to only add items that meet your criteria.

When you enable the auto-add workflow, existing items matching your criteria will not be added. The workflow will add items when created or updated if the item matches your filter. For more information on manually adding items, see "AUTOTITLE."

The auto-add workflow supports a subset of filters. You can use the following filters when configuring your workflow.

Qualifier Possible values
is open, closed, merged, draft, issue, pr
label "label name"
reason completed, reopened, "not planned"
assignee {% data variables.product.product_name %} username
no label, assignee, reason

All filters, other than no, support negation. For example, you could use -label:bug to add issues that do not have the "bug" label.

The auto-add workflow is limited per plan.

Product Maximum auto-add workflows
{% data variables.product.prodname_free_user %} 1
{% data variables.product.prodname_pro %} 5
{% data variables.product.prodname_team %} 5
{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} 20
{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} 20
