Cannot get milestones or projects feature to work by title, only by number

I have created:

• public org project
• private org project
• public user project
• private user project
• issue level milestone in a private repo

I have created TODOs attempting to use all 5 cases above one at a time. None of the issues get created. Other TODOs with labels and assignees work fine. The same tokens are used for all cases. The token has pretty high access.

The milestone in a private repo may be an issue - have not duplicated the raw API call yet.

I used postman to hit the same API the action is using, giving the same accepts and authorization token headers and the public projects are returned.

Here is some markdown with the markdown file containing the TODOs and some of the debugging output from the processed run

---

This is a markdown file to test the TODO generator

Raw markdown source code

The markdown below is written with an extra space in the begin comment so they show up here. Remove the space between the opening <! to actually use these as valid comments in MarkDown.

We can generate an issue with assignees and labels - this works fine

< !— TODO A generated issue with assignee and labels Please don’t close this issue that was generated by automation. assignees: JimBledsoe labels: enhancement –>

We can assign an issue to a milestone - not working

< !— TODO A generated issue with a milestone in this repo Please don’t close this issue that was generated by automation. milestone: Test Milestone –>

We can assign an issue to a milestone in quotes perhaps? - not working and not in output below, as it was added later but same error

< !— TODO A generated issue with a milestone in quotes in this repo Please don’t close this issue that was generated by automation. milestone: “Test Milestone” –>

We can assign an issue to a public user project - not working

< !— TODO A generated issue with a public user project user projects: JimBledsoe/Jim Public Project/To do –>

We can assign an issue to a private user project - not working, but neither does GitHub API

< !— TODO A generated issue with a private user project user projects: JimBledsoe/Jim Private Project/To do –>

We can assign an issue to a public org project - not working

< !— TODO A generated issue with a public org project org projects: stage3talent/S3T Public Project/To do –>

We can assign an issue to a private org project - not working, but neither does GitHub API

< !— TODO A generated issue with a private org project org projects: stage3talent/S3T Private Project/To do –>

OMG, Yes, I had created a token for using this but did not specify it in the yml correctly. I was still using the default secret and not the new org level one. Well that explains why Postman was working and this was not.

Yes, I think everything in this thread is resolved. I misread the milestone by number and had the wrong PAT being used.

Closing this as resolved. I may put in an enhancement request for Milestone by Name at some point. I need to see how the team responds to projects, but the other thread about project by repo is a sticky one for us. I will comment on that thread.

Thanks for your time looking into this.

No problem, I am happy to look into both repo project assignments and milestones by name. Both seem doable without too much work.
