Issue Metadata Fields

Summary

issue +create and issue +update now support common GitLink Issue metadata fields. When updating or closing an Issue, the shortcut also carries the current metadata back to the API so unrelated fields are not reset by partial updates.

Added flags

Flag	API field
--priority-id	priority_id
--tag-ids	issue_tag_ids
--assigner-ids	assigner_ids
--branch	branch_name
--start-date	start_date
--due-date	due_date

issue +create --label is also mapped as a single tag ID for backward compatibility.

Examples

gitlink-cli issue +create --owner Gitlink --repo forgeplus \
  --title "Bug: login failed" \
  --priority-id 3 \
  --tag-ids 4,5 \
  --assigner-ids 7

gitlink-cli issue +update --owner Gitlink --repo forgeplus \
  --number 123 \
  --priority-id 4 \
  --branch bugfix/login \
  --due-date 2026-06-15
