Hi,
Currently, my team and I have moved to GitHub Projects, and we are having difficulty getting updated status of the issue and often experience misunderstandings. We need help to advise us on whether any of these can be resolved by any github workflows. I have listed them below and hope for the best. Thank you so much!

As a PO who manages three different teams at a time, I want to have an automation that can minimize errors and improve communication among teammates on our GitHub projects.

Scenario 1: Automatically update assignees when an issue has a comment containing a PR link from another repository

When developer pastes a link of a PR from a different repo in the comment section of my open issue
Then automatically remove all existing assignees from my open issue and replace them with the name of the person who commented with the link.

Scenario 2: Automatically update the label of the issue according to its status in the GitHub project.

For an issue that is linked to a GitHub project, when a developer updates the status of the issue to "In dev" and updates the team for the issue to "Android Native," "iOS Native," "BE," or "Web,"
Then the label of the issue will be updated accordingly to “android-in-dev”, “ios-in-dev”, “api-in-dev”, “web-chat-in-dev”. Multiple labels cannot coexist simultaneously.

Scenario 3: Automatically comment to tag the QA team in the comment of the issue based on the issue's status.

For an issue that is linked to a GitHub project, when a developer updates the status of the issue to "Ready to QA,"
Then the issue wil automatically have a comment saying, "This is ready for @qa to test in the QA environment.”

Scenario 4: Automatically comment to tag the QA team in the comment of the issue based on the status of the PR.

When the PR status is merged into the main branch,
Then the issue linked to the PR will receive a comment saying, "This is ready for @qa to test in the UAT environment.”
