Release Outputs and tags are not getting generated through .yml #2465
Labels
priority: p3
Desirable enhancement or fix. May not be included in next release.
type: bug
Error or flaw in code with unintended results or allowing sub-optimal usage patterns.
Release Outputs and tags are not getting generated through .yml. But release and tags are getting created on rerunning the yml again. I am using .yml to create changeling on creating any branch name contains "Release"

I tried adding label after - name: Run Release Please, but still tags and releases are not getting created.
