How does auto-numbering work for GitHub Epics?▼

Auto-numbering for GitHub Epics works by scanning existing issues within the repository to identify the current sequence. The mechanism then determines the next available Epic number and automatically applies it to the newly created issue title.

Can I ensure consistent labels are applied when creating GitHub Epics?▼

Do I need a linked project board to use automated Epic creation?▼
