`glab issue update`

Update issue.

Synopsis

Change an issue’s labels, assignees, milestone, title, or description. Use --label and --unlabel to add or remove labels.

--attach uploads a file and references it at the end of the description. Repeat the flag for more than one file, or pass - to read the file from standard input. Without --description the references are added to the description the issue already has, instead of replacing it.

The --attach flag is an experiment. It might be unstable or removed at any time, and is not ready for production use. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.
