Issue Fields Migration
Issue fields are org-level typed metadata (single select, text, number, date) that replace label-based workarounds with structured, searchable, cross-repo fields. Every organization gets Priority, Effort, Start date, and Target date preconfigured, with support for up to 25 custom fields.
This skill bulk-migrates existing metadata into issue fields from two sources:
- Repo labels: Convert labels like
p0,p1,priority/highinto structured issue field values (e.g. the Priority field). Supports migrating multiple labels at once and optionally removing them after migration. - Project V2 fields: Copy field values (single select, text, number, date, iteration) from a GitHub Project into the equivalent org-level issue fields.
When to Use
- User added org-level issue fields that overlap with existing project fields
- User wants to copy values from project fields to issue fields before deleting the old project fields
- User asks about "migrating", "transferring", or "copying" project field data to issue fields
- User wants to convert repo labels (e.g., p0, p1, p2, p3) into issue field values (e.g., Priority field)
- User asks about replacing labels with issue fields or cleaning up labels after adopting issue fields
