Question: How do I run an agentic workflow for issue triage on issues created prior to the agentic workflow existing?

[jtracey93]

We have created an agentic workflow to help us do basic issue triage. Now we would like to run this same issue triage workflow on all existing open issues to help us do an initial pass on everything we have open. Is this something that is supported and possible?

If so, how?

If you prompt/modify your action to also support workflow_dispatch + inputs.issue_number, you could ask copilot-cli to query open issues and run your workflow for each of them.

OR tell copilot-cli to load the prompt of your AW and apply to opened issues like a subagent.

How many opened issues do you need to preprocess?

A few hundred (300+)
