Converting a note to an issue

If you've created a note and find that it isn't sufficient for your needs, you can convert it to an issue.

When you convert a note to an issue, the issue is automatically created using the content from the note. The first line of the note will be the issue title and any additional content from the note will be added to the issue description.

{% tip %}

Tip: You can add content in the body of your note to @mention someone, link to another issue or pull request, and add emoji. These {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} Flavored Markdown features aren't supported within {% data variables.projects.projects_v1_board %} notes, but once your note is converted to an issue, they'll appear correctly. For more information on using these features, see "AUTOTITLE."

{% endtip %}

1. Navigate to the note that you want to convert to an issue. {% data reusables.project-management.project-note-more-options %}
2. Click Convert to issue.
3. If the card is on an organization-wide {% data variables.projects.projects_v1_board %}, in the drop-down menu, choose the repository you want to add the issue to.
4. Optionally, edit the pre-filled issue title, and type an issue body.
5. Click Convert to issue.
6. The note is automatically converted to an issue. In the {% data variables.projects.projects_v1_board %}, the new issue card will be in the same location as the previous note.
