@mfriesenegger @jmertic
We have do some investigates, but didn't find a good solution for this issue, need some help and discuss from team and linux foundation.
This block the github action to access the Vicom infinity Z infrastructure.

@pono Any ideas here?

[larainema]

We have proposed one solution:

1. if a pull request from forked repo branch
2. create a local branch from this forked repo branch (might need permission to create local branch)
3. then create a new pull request from the local branch to get the secret

This is the proposal, not test yet, any comments?

@larainema I am on the monthly OMP Technical Advisory Council call and it was mentioned by @jmertic that there is a solution so the secrets work properly with GitHub Actions workflows. Do you know this and have you had a chance to try the solution?

@mfriesenegger yes, @jmertic mentioned in the slack that pull_request_target event trigger might works, we plan to try this.
