GitHub Issues & Projects – Auto-close issue project workflow

Today’s changelog brings you a new workflow to auto-close issues in Projects!

🪄 Auto-close issue project workflow

The auto-close issue workflow allows you to automatically close issues when their project status is changed to “Done” ✅ or any custom status you define (🙅 say goodbye to repetitive clicks).

Implementing the new workflow

For existing projects anyone with write or admin access can enable the new auto-close issue workflow on the workflows page.

For new projects the auto-close issue workflow will be enabled by default.
