Move multiple cards at once? about create-or-update-project-card HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @andreacab2

I would like to avoid making the action and its interface more complicated if possible. My inclination would be to solve this in the workflow itself. Please could you share your workflow so I can understand the context.

Hey @peter-evans absolutely. Sorry I missed your message.

Our workflow with the project is the following:

1. Create branch with the naming convention feature-[feature_name]/[github_issue_num_a]-[github_issue_num_b]-...
2. This gets picked up by the action and moves the cards referencing the issues (a,b, etc) to the In process column. Sometimes one branch can solve multiple issues at once.
3. When this branch becomes get merged onto our develop branch, the cards move to the In QA column.
4. When a QA moves it to the Done column, the card's issue gets closed and the card move to the archived column.

n.b: We might not be using the github project concept in a common way as we are brand new with it.

I would suggest using the job matrix construct to execute the action multiple times, one for each issue. You would likely need a prerequisite job to prepare a JSON array of the issue numbers for a dynamic matrix.

This example might help:

Hey @peter-evans thanks for your input. Missed the job matrix feature. Will try that 👍
