Add GitHub Issue Template Schema Form #1758
Comments
Bear in mind that the more fields a bug report template has, the less likely I am to complete the high-friction process. In projects like that, I'll sometimes just deal with it or move to a different product. Forcing me to paste in debug output from a bunch of commands, list my OS and my mother's maiden name, and splitting it up into a half dozen mandatory fields for "this error message is spelled incorrectly" just means the project doesn't actually care about my bug report. In particular, it drives me nuts when there's a title, then a description field, and then expected and actual results with reproduction steps. The reproduction steps and behavior literally are the description in a whole lot of cases, and the title is a summary of the same thing again. Basically, don't make me submit the bug more than once; this isn't some psychological test where the goal is to trip liars up by asking the same question three different ways. 🤣 Maybe leave the phallus or whatever emoji out of the "bug report" title, too. Heck, consider the people using screen readers and just omit all the emoji. I know. Grumpy old man. Just please keep the friction down and stick to the basics necessary for functionality. :) |
Got it! I'll keep the bug report form short, simple, and without the redundant fields. No emojis, just the essentials. By the way, Thanks for the exceptional reply childish boy. So Can I raised the PR ?🤣 |
GitHub Issue Template Schema Form Implementation To create a GitHub issue template schema form, we will implement the proposed changes. Here's a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Create the Issue Template Folder and File Create a new folder named .github in the root directory of your repository if it doesn't already exist. Inside the .github folder, create another folder named ISSUE_TEMPLATE. Create a new file named issue-template.md inside the ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder. Step 2: Define the Issue Template Schema In the issue-template.md file, add the following YAML front matter to define the issue template schema:name: Issue Template

I recommend you separate out bugs and feature requests., then use an auto-labeler to apply the correct label based on submission. If you want to get really complex with it, you can add an action that adds a community submitted label for anyone that submits a PR that is not on CODEOWNERS. Here is the ones I use from our fork Bug/Issues: name: Bug or Issue
