issue-fields-migration

Bulk-migrate metadata to GitHub issue fields from two sources: repo labels (e.g. priority labels to a Priority field) and Project V2 fields. Use when users say "migrate my labels to issue fields", "migrate project fields to issue fields", "convert labels to issue fields", "copy project field values to issue fields", or ask about adopting issue fields. Issue fields are org-level typed metadata (single select, text, number, date) that replace label-based workarounds with structured, searchable, cross-repo fields.

# Issue Fields Migration

[Issue fields](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-03-12-issue-fields-structured-issue-metadata-is-in-public-preview/) are org-level typed metadata (single select, text, number, date) that replace label-based workarounds with structured, searchable, cross-repo fields. Every organization gets `Priority`, `Effort`, `Start date`, and `Target date` preconfigured, with support for up to 25 custom fields.

This skill bulk-migrates existing metadata into issue fields from two sources:

- **Repo labels**: Convert labels like `p0`, `p1`, `priority/high` into structured issue field values (e.g. the Priority field). Supports migrating multiple labels at once and optionally removing them after migration.
- **Project V2 fields**: Copy field values (single select, text, number, date, iteration) from a GitHub Project into the equivalent org-level issue fields.

## When to Use

- User added org-level issue fields that overlap with existing project fields
- User wants to copy values from project fields to issue fields before deleting the old project fields
- User asks about "migrating", "transferring", or "copying" project field data to issue fields
