FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Linear issue status updates from pull requests?▼

Automating Linear issue status updates from pull requests requires mentioning the issue reference with magic keywords like Fixes, Closes, or Resolves LOBE-xxx in the PR description to trigger automatic synchronization and completion comments.

What is the best way to keep Linear sub-issues synchronized with code changes?▼

Keeping Linear sub-issues synchronized with code changes involves retrieving parent issue details and automatically detecting linked sub-issues to ensure all related statuses update correctly when a pull request references the LOBE-xxx identifier.

How do I enforce mandatory completion comments on Linear issues linked to PRs?▼

Enforcing mandatory completion comments on Linear issues linked to PRs uses workflow automation to automatically post required status updates and completion notes for each referenced LOBE-xxx issue when triggered by PR keyword associations.

Do I need specific labels to create new Linear issues in an automated workflow?▼

Creating new Linear issues in an automated workflow requires applying the mandatory claude code label during issue creation to ensure the issue enters the correct synchronization and tracking workflow.

Can I use PR keywords to automatically close multiple Linear issues?▼

Using PR keywords to automatically close multiple Linear issues is supported by enforcing per-issue completion rules, ensuring each referenced LOBE-xxx issue receives its own status update and completion comment when the PR is merged.

Why does my Linear issue status not update when I mention it in a pull request?▼

Linear issue status may not update when mentioned in a pull request if the PR lacks the required Fixes, Closes, or Resolves LOBE-xxx magic keyword association, which is strictly enforced to trigger the automated state synchronization.
