GH-PROJECT-ITEM-EDIT(1)

NAME
gh-project-item-edit - Edit an item in a project

SYNOPSIS
gh project item-edit [<number>] [flags]

DESCRIPTION
Edit a draft issue or a project item.

The usual way to select the item and field is by name: pass the project number plus --owner, point at the item with its issue or pull request --url, and name the field with --field. For single-select fields, --value is the option name.

For scripts and machine use, you can also pass GraphQL node IDs directly with --id, --field-id and --project-id (and, for single-select fields, --single-select-option-id).

Note that --url is the issue or pull request URL, not a project URL, so its owner may differ from the project's; --owner selects the project.

For non-draft issues, only a single field value can be updated per invocation.

Remove a project item field value with --clear.
