I tried to enable this option. Seems to be bug because i cant touch this option. I think this is bug.

I tried the following option in my workflow.

+ permissions:
+     contents: write
+     pull_request: write

The point is, i am using ${{ secrers.GITHUB_TOKEN }} whether this github action permission is not permitted to create or approve pull request.

Therefore, this is actually bug to actions from github. Eventually report this bug. Please give me a full syntax of this file. If i've mistakes from my action file. Thank you.

what you are seeing is not a bug in github actions, but a misunderstanding on your part.

workflow syntax is described here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions

your schedule definition is not correct at all. the syntax is wrong, and that cron pattern will not result in a schedule that triggers every hour and a half. check the workflow syntax link and read about cron schedules.

This is kind of array.

If your repo is in an organization, then according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72376229/github-actions-is-not-permitted-to-create-or-approve-pull-requests-createpullre you will need to enable Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests at org level first.

[xRodzMC]

I already do that.

I am not an organization and I still have to do this in a per project basis
