Add Issue/PR the Project, when assigned to a milestone?

[GaryJones]

Would it be possible to add functionality, such that Issues and PRs assigned to X milestone get put in X project (and then existing rules could presumably automatically put that in a particular column.)?

Right now, the readme suggests that milestoned_issue can only be used to move a card once it has already been added.

What we don't want is to require that all issues automatically get added to a project.

Did I understand correctly that you are looking for a way to add issues to a project board when they are added to a milestone?

If so, this is definitely not possible right now, the only way to add issues is via new_issue when they are created.

In theory it would be possible to create an "add issue to board when it is added to milestone x.y" of course - but that would probably not really match the current naming.

Can you tell a bit more about the use case behind that? Do you want one project board per milestone?

That is correct.

Do you want one project board per milestone?

Yes. Right now, the projects are milestone-based - one project board for 2.7, one for 2.8, one for 2.9, etc.

Can you think of a name for the "trigger" that would somehow match the current scheme? This might be the biggest hurdle right now.

I've not looked at the logic, but could milestoned_issue be re-used? i.e. if the board doesn't yet exist on a board, then add it and "move" it to the correct column?

(Aside: there's no milestoned_pullrequest?)

If not, maybe milestoned_issue_add or similar variant?

[janpio]

Reusing doesn't work, something has to tell the code that it should add an issue. So add_milestoned_issue might be a good idea.

But: This of course opens the possibility of further "triggers" to add an issue or PR to a board. Any other useful ones?

(Aside: there's no milestoned_pullrequest?)

Seems so. Best create an issue for it.

+1 for this - I'd love a way to automatically add a PR or Issue to a project when it is added to a milestone, and the inverse, it'd be great to remove it from the project automatically when it is removed from that milestone.

Something like:

milestoned_issue v0.6
demilestoned_issue v0.6

milestoned_pullrequest v0.6
demilestoned_pullrequest v0.6

// The old behaviour of the commands without an arg could be retained.
// This then matches *all* issues/PRs as they are added to any milestone.
milestoned_issue
milestoned_pullrequest

[janpio]

// The old behaviour of the commands without an arg could be retained.

Note that the current implementation only moves already existing items and does not add them to a board. That's why implementing this would be a major new feature for the bot and would probably require a rework on the naming of stuff.

I would like this feature
