A GitHub Action that mirrors labels from a parent issue to it's children issues 👩👧👦. The action supports the child keywords supported by actions-playground - child #<issue_number>, child to #<issue_number>, child of #<issue_number>. The child <owner>/<repo>#<issue_number> syntax is also supported for cross repo relationships.
This GitHub Action runs when an issues event webhook is fired in your GitHub repo. The action checks if there is a parent / child relationship between the issue and another issue. If so, the action mirrors labels from the parent issue to the child issue.
Notes:
- If a label is removed from a parent issue, the label is is not removed from the child issue.
- If a label is added to the parent issue, it will be applied to the child issue the next time the child is edited.
- If a child has multiple parents, only the lables from the child's first parent are mirrored to the child.
